El - The industry's first 64-bit implementation of Java attained an unprecedented 29.1 SPECjvm98(TM) result, exceeding the best-published Sun Solaris result of 18.0 by 62 percent. Compaq's VolanoMark(TM) results were equally impressive, generating results of 4792 messages per second for 200 concurrent connections, 158 percent faster than the best results reported in the March 1999 Yet another indication of why DEC is like Wang computers - NOT!!! I hope the various posters who considered the purchase of DEC to be anything other than a great move and a terrific value understand the difference between an industry leading technology company and a clone builder.
