Hallo,

we (see below) consider buying one or two high performance 32-Bit
graphic workstations.

During the process of selection and evaluation we found in the
"Dataquest Research Newsletter 1986-7" a comparison between
Apollo-Domain (DN580), Sun 160C and 3 other workstations. There is a
table that says:

       Relative  performance (1 is best, 5 is worst)

          Apollo DN580    xxx   yyy   zzz  Sun 3/160C

Computing    3            4     5      2      1
Graphics     1            5     4      2      3
Networkng    1            3     5      4      2
Applic.      2            5     4      1      3

My questions are:

a.) Where does the 3 for Apollo Computing come from?
b.) Where does the 3 for Sun 3/160C graphics come from?

I would be most grateful if people who really know the answer
(Dataquest) could send me a short (or long) explanation.

PLEASE respond directly to <XBR2D96D@DDATHD21>, because I'm not a
member of this list.
