Sun's New Workstations and Graphics Cards

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the chasing-after-sgi dept.

An anonymous reader "Sun Microsystems has released the Sun Blade 2000 workstation, along with a new graphics accelerator, the XVR-1000. This could very well give SGI's lineup a run for its money in the CAD and Visualization fields, although its fillrate and 38-bit colour may make it less desirable for animation. Make sure to check out Ace's article. " (page down a couple times to read it)

    How can it be that early posts get modded down faster than anyone even gets to read them. I can't believe the moderators are that fast. What is it? Slashcode automatically assumes a first post is a troll?

    You gotta wonder why they don't just make every story about hardware come with a comment about clusters when it's packaged. That would save us just SO much work.

      I meant "should", not "shold". This time, I'll use the 'preview' button. Really.

    Michigan doesn't even have a "Jack-in-the-Box". Please see this map of Jack-in-the-Box locations. Unless you were talking about some guy named Jack. I'm sure Rob has had many of those...

    Stupid use for a $35k box I realize, but it does come with a DVD-ROM drive. Can you watch dvds with it or is that only for data-dvd purposes?
