class=216553618-19022009>I got your e-mail forwarded to me and I am more than
happy to answer your questions. Before that I would like to inform you that,
in light of the fact that Sun does not build any SPARC based
workstations, BRTT and Kinemetrics came to the consensus that Apple
workstations will be the future platform for networks that use
workstations. We found that Apple provides, similar to Sun, a tight
integration of hardware and O/S making Antelope installation and
configuration predictable and maintainable. All efforts are made by BRTT to
provide an Antelope version on Apple workstations that provides the
reliability of mission critical seismic networks. On the other hand,
Kinemetrics will provide installation and configuration services for
Apple workstations.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

workstation with 8-cores at up to 3.2GHz (BRTT carried
benchmark tests with impressive results), up to 32GB RAM and a multi-client
server O/S. You can have a hardware RAID in the Mac Pro with up to 4TB. And
the Mac Pro is considered one of the best engineered INTEL-based computer on
the market. So, you can consider your basic requirements
covered.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
