Hi,

I am curious about vector registers.

Q1.  How much do they cost?  I mean if one wants to build a low-end workstaion
     with vector registers with MIPS or M88000 or Sparc chip, how much does
     it price more than the one without the registers?

Q2.  With what processors is it possible to implement vector architecture?

Q3.  When do you expect to see vector workstations around $ 20k in the market?

Q4.  What are those vector machines ( < $100k) in the market?

   Hugh
