Subject: SUN vs HP workstations

Hi Netters,

I am considering buying one of the following workstations:

1) HP model 712/60  32MB main memory 60MHz PA-RISC7100LC processor
2) SUN SPARCSTATION 20 model 50 32MB main memory 50 MHz supersparc processor

I will be using the workstations primarily for MD simulations.

Does anyone have any ideas about how these machines compare in terms of
speed and ability to load large programs (large memory requirements) ?

I would appreciate comments, experience, anecdotes etc.

Thanks
