The T800 is starting to lag behind some in speed, but its cost effectiveness is actually improving. The cost of an 8-node system should drop below $5000 in the next few months given the dropping RAM prices and the recent drastic cut in T800 pricing. The main cost factor would be your RAM requirements. That $1000 price for the PC host is a bit unfair if you need more I/O capacity, etc. You may want a $3000 386-based host. But that's still relatively cheap. But what will happen when the m88000 and i860 drop in price, as is bound to happen some day? - Moshe Braner
