I have two o2's, one of them is a lowly R5000
180Mhz system (the more
pathetic of the two 180Mhz models) with 160MB RAM. This system can
handle *HEAVY* loads more gracefully than any other system I've use, and
X-Windows is unbelievably smooth, even under these heavy loads. The
other is an R12000 270Mhz system, and even better :^)
That guy has a couple more 400MHz processors up for grabs on eBay.
BTW, I really wish Mac OS X or Linux were half as
"smooth" as Irix! I've
gotten a "beachball" twice on my dual 2Ghz G5 while typing this email
thanks to what I have running in the background.
Got your SIMH instanced niced?
