We are ordering a SUN SPARCstation 10 Model 54 for our scientists
and would like suggestions from anyone.  We will be using the
SUN for Genetic database searches (e.g. IntelliGenetics Suite, etc.)
[basically large (+1 gig) databases).

This is what I've done so far:

SPARCstation 10 Model 54 w/ 4 Super SPARC processors
GX 8-bit Accelerated 2-D/3-D Color Graphics
19" Monitor
128 Mbyte memory
4-Gbyte SCSI
3.5 Floppy drive
Solaris 2.x (media and docs)
SunCd Pack
Online DiskSuite Software (CDROM)
Sun Database Excelerator
NetWare SunLink

As I said before, I need this to be a *very* fast database machine and
any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,

Desmond Fuller
