At Academy we use still Onyx RE2, 4xR4400@200, 640MB RAM, ASO (4 sound channels 6 serial ports) Sirius Video option, as our primary system to build real time virtual sets, our new NT's and G4's are faster for some simple tasks but when game comes to realtime uncompressed video I/0 this 6 years old monster is still killer, details as 1,2 GB of internal bandwith and 48bit color will be reached on x86 once... Yes there are several o2, Octanes and Indigo2, Impacts for 3D and video preprocessing. This machine grandpa of O3k is still usefull and warm;-)
