Dunno. is it?
Try comparing dual rp2470 and dual rx2600 with similar products
from other vendors.

Sorry - my bad. I misread that as "2x 900 Mhz".
Anyway, my point still stands, comparing a "server" (rackable, remote console)
with a "workstation" (3D gfx, sound, DVD-ROM) has alot of variables and
different folks value these things differently. But even here, I would
guess the difference in CPU perf alone is 2x or more by most measures.
Yes, I know the price is 3x but other things make zx2000 attract to
a different set of customers (like linux support).
