The Sun 3/60 comes in with 8. # Sun # 3/50 with 4MB Ram, 144MB disk, tape backup (60MB), mono monitor = $11,500 # 3/60 with 8MB Ram, 144MB disk, tape backup (60MB), mono monitor = $16,400 And after it all said and done, the Sun's with DMA winds up faster and can run NeWS (which is a real win). And I would pick a user configurable (icon-based) desktop with user configurable menus any day (i'm talking about Suntools/SunView)...plus running under NeWS you get it all ... NeWS,SunView and X (soon SunView II).
