  12. If for some reason you are committed to an Intel architecture, I
  13. might suggest that you look into a multiprocessor 386/486 system
  14. such as the Compaq systempro w/ SCO Unix modified for multi-cpu's
  15. or any of the other machines that were released in response to
  16. the systempro.
  17.  
  18. That _alot_ of users! That's comparable to the needs of a university's
  19. undergraduate student enrollment!! And with over a dozen machines, 
  20. things are strained. But then, the students at Waterloo are spoilt
  21. brats anyway.
  22.  
  23. Like someone else said, depends what they're going to be doing.
  24.  
  25. Hope this helps.
