From the Yahoo thread:
Fastest production machine! Read the Benchmark conclusions here:

Here's an excerpt:
"Memory Performance : SiSoft Sandra 2000
RDRAM finally showed some of its muscle here, with the highest memory throughput we?ve ever seen on any memory architecture. The dual RDRAM channels on the i840 chipset really show off its benefits and low latency. "
Highest memory throughput they've EVER SEEN! When clock speeds come into the mid GHZ range in production systemes - look out!
More excerpts: "...256 MB of ECC PC800 RDRAM; it is fast, very fast even, we?ve never seen memory scores this high..."
In summary: "..., if you?re into CAD/CAM, 3D graphics, high end programming, maintain large databases or just want a top-notch workstation, without being restricted to running Windows, but also wish to have the capacity to run Unix, Solaris or Linux, then this system might well fit your needs. It?s blistering fast, has mindboggling 3D graphics, stunning harddisk throughput, and CPU horsepower to spare. It simply is one of the fastest machines we?ve had the pleasure of exchanging disks with, period. "
