It's not just a "T2000". The CPU is either T1 or T2. Judging from the info (8core*4threads) it looks like we are talking about the ancient T1 here. I don't find the load time that strange. Some good read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UltraSPARC_T2#Performance_improvement_versus_T1 http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/4602-About-some-rumours-surrounding-the-UltraSPARC-T1T2.html etc.. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
