FP750 or more memory

[Peter Ivanov]

First let me thank all the people who replied to a recent query of mine
about the possible overloading of a unibus on a VAX11/750. Your coments
reinforced some of my own ideas and have proved very useful.

Has anyone out there done any benchmarks to determine the effectiveness
of an FP750 FPA on a VAX11/750? We plan to use our new VAX in Electrical
Engineering (courses such as Circuit Theory, Digital and Analog Signals,
and Digital Control) with quite a lot of "calculation". Should we be
thinking of buying an FP750 or should we buy more memory (now only 2Mb)?
Will have about 40 terminals connected, running System V.
