I am very familiar with the SUN enviroment, so am interested in buying a machine that has such an enviroment, but is faster. I am pretty impressed with the spec's on the MIPS machine, and was wondering whether anbody could tell me if there are any drawbacks to it, or whether there is anything that I should know about it before I buy one. Any advice will be really appreciated!!! Replies to jchigier@vlsisj.com or call Ben @ 914-683-2610. Thanks.
