Computer for sequence analysis

The model which will run your software! Seriously, you start by figuring out 
what software to use, and let that decide.

K6's are generally not good due to their rather poor floating point 
performance.

Yes, but which unix flavour? That's the real problem, if it runs under Linux 
you'd go for a PII with a fast graphics card that's well supported by X 
(Matrox cards are always a good bet), but if it only runs under Irix or SunOS 
- well then the decision is already made.
