Does it have to be Intel/AMD? IBM has a good reputation on Power and zSeries (not good for CPU-intensive work, but disk I/O is in gigabytes/sec). A little Zed beside one's desk would be a fine ornament to any office:-) If you want CPU, take a look at top500.org. Even if you don't have the dollars to buy some of that kit, it's good for serious drooling;-) -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list
