Message-ID: <18266@shemp.CS.UCLA.EDU> Date: 27 Nov 88 23:38:31 GMT Sender: news@CS.UCLA.EDU Reply-To: kirkaas@cs.ucla.edu (paul kirkaas) Organization: UCLA Computer Science Department Lines: 15 First the disclaimers: I know this sort of question is meaningless as it stands and depends on all sorts of factors like the application, the program, prejudice, etc.; & I'm sure this has been covered before -- but I haven't seen it. So, as regards the 80386/68030 -- Which is better? Which is faster? Why? I'm really thinking about the NeXT vs. an 80386 based Unix machine. Paul Kirkaas kirkaas@cs.ucla.edu
