When I was designing my last two VLSI chips for a course I took at the University of Maryland. My PPro 200 ran Magic, Spice and IRSIM faster than the Sparc 5s at school that we were using. Set up from the ports system was unbelievably easy and when you are spending 16 and 18 hours a day working on a chip design that absolutely has to be out by Monday. Not haveing to drive into school to work in the lab, not haveing to log out, and leave the lab to pee or eat, and risk loosing your workstation because everyone else has to get their final exam projects in, can really save your but. --------- Christopher R.
