I am trying to find out if we should upgrade our machines with a Z-buffer. 
Can anyone fill me in on the obvious advantages (other than being able to run
several of the Demos :-).  While we do mostly number crunching, we do a fair
amount of graphical work in our analysis.  What (examples) will it speed up? 
Also, what about cost?   (My SGI Rep is away on Vacation)

Thanks!
