I can see the beer at work here :)

DO you mean a B-110 system?

The PA-RISC CPU line is a terific thing, they are more geared toward floating
point performance for things like CAD. Most od the 100MHz plus CPU's make a
reasonalble desktop box if you can come to grips with HP-UX.

If you have a B-100 it will be a PA-RISC LC7100 at 120 MHz Depending on what
Visualize board you have it will have nice graphics too :)
