Dear Netters,

I have an SGI Indigo 2xl (100Mhz IP22 processor, MIPS R4000 chip, 64 MB
RAM) running Tripos' Sybyl for molecular modelling modelling.  I have to
chance to purchase a low-end O2 machine.  Can anyone give me the likely
'real world' performance improvement (CPU intensive and graphics intensive
tasks) with a given O2 configuration for Sybyl or similar modelling package?

Cheers,

Dave
