While Be does not make specific hardware (or vendor) recommendations, there are a couple of things you might want to keep in mind when deciding which UMAX/SuperMac machine to purchase through the Be developer program.Not all UMAX products are able to use the secondary processor card which you can receive for free through the program. At the time of this writing, only the S900 line can accept a secondary processor card, so if you want a multiprocessor unit, that's the way to go.Obviously, this is both brief and subject to change as UMAX' product line changes, so be sure to visit the SuperMac web site for detailed and up-to-date information. In particular, we recommend the SuperMac FAQ section (FAQs are good ;-) for details regarding the multiprocessor options for their product line.

<<Does Be give registered developers discounts on hardware? Can I pay the difference to get a faster secondary processor card? >>
