My disagreements with this article are legion.
1.) Last I was quoted, by Rob Kolstad (@bsdi.com) full source license
to BSDI's product is ~$1K NOT $2K
2.) You don't need accelerated video, 32M RAM, EISA, etc etc ad nauseum
for what you've asked for. It's nice to have more and faster, but a
lot less will produce very nicely for you. Especialy I have to wonder
about the display recomendation given the stated application is for
BATCH simulations.
3.) Other than mispelling Nanao :) (I agree, that 550i is swell) I think
this fellow has well stated what is higher end equipment and why.
