But this is a NetBSD list. You must mean NetBSD and not OpenBSD right?

Both machines are good, but I'd liberate that memory and disk array from
the Intel machine and use the Risc if it was me... If the disk array is
internal, use the Intel box.

Depending on what these users are doing, either machine should handle that
kind of job witout much flinching.

More memory is usually always better than less memory. I'd say the Apple
will probably win the CPU horsepower contest though.
