        A VAX 8700 was rated at 6 VUPS.
        A VAX 8800 (dual processor variant) came in at 12 VUPs.
        (I just quote 'em, I don't write 'em!)

        A VAX 8600 came in at about 4 VUPs.
        The follow on VAX 8650 came in at 6 VUPs.

        These are all physically large machines.
        There is also a VAX 8650 available on
        ebay at the moment (in Memphis IIRC)
