re what do y all think of the iivx in article p e tinnojp minerva cis yale edu bell peter yale edu peter bell writes my advisor has decided to get a mac for the lab now that we are funded again the consensus in the lab was that all we really needed was an lciii but he decided he wanted a centris the lack of an fpu on that machine and the price struck me as making it worth less than an lciii so i have suggested we get a iivx instead it seems heavily expandable and for what do people with iivx s think of them they seem like good machines to me and i like the nubus slots in case we ultimately decide we want to do work with video on it the iivx lciii performance at a centris price the only reason to get an iivx is if you really need the full size nubus slots keep in mind that the supports all apple monitors and has optional ethernet this lessens but doesn t eliminate the need for nubus cards and unless you re running fpu intensive software the will blow the doors off the lciii and the iivx the lciii on the other hand is sufficient for most people and has a great price if you haven t guessed i find halving the bus clock the iivx mhz up vs mhz bus a throughly bad thing and i hope apple never does it again joe finete jfinete cats ucsc edu
