IBM 6000 vs HP 9000 series 700

Hi,
	here goes:
	any comparisons of RS6000 530/540 etc with the HP Apollo 9000 series
	700 machines ?
                                                                        
	HP claims better SPECmarks for all the comparable models
	
        SPEC    IBM 320		HP 720 		IBM 530  	HP 730
	mark    24.6    	55.5            32             	72.2
	int     16.3            39.0            20.4           	51.0
	fp	32.4            70.2		43.4		91.0


	I would be interested in the performance AIX vs HP-UX. How better/worse
	is the OS.

	graphics- IBM offers the SGI Personal Iris board for the 500 series 
	machines. HP has the T1/T2 based boards. How do the two compare ?

thanks
