What I need to recommend is the power of 6 Vax 750s (4.x BSD) to support hundreds of users crunching away on a few applications. This customer already has 3 Vax 750's installed. Some of the choices are to recommend 6 750's, 3 780's, ? 785's or some number of Pyramid 90x's (4.2BSD being a key issue here). What I don't know is any comparison between the Vax 785 and anything else aside from the initial published DEC speculations. I am hoping to find someone out there in netland with some experience running 4.2 / Ultrix on a 785 that can compare performance with the other Vaxen or the Pyramid. We have a benchmark suite written here (somewhat specific to our application size and load) whose results on on the 750, 780, and Pyramid I would be willing to trade for benchmark results on the 785.
