Subject: Re: [Vantage] (off topic) UG computer

As long as you bear in mind that non-dual processor aware apps will stick
with one processor, then I would consider the dual proposition. My
experience has been that on a workstation, it's not worth the extra expense.

For two of our dual-display stations, we use 3Dlabs Oxygen GVX 420 (around
$1600). One is an HPVFX700 (p3-700), while the other is Silicon Graphics
ZX-10. The 420 comes with 128mb (64mb per side) and handles fluid dynamics
studies quite well so far (we've only had it for about a month). Still
stuck on UniGraphics, huh?
