My formed Ultra 80 (E250-based) Quad USII with Creator graphics and a
DVD-rom was able to play movies pretty well, and it was certainly a nice
system for compressing data and doing encryption even by today's
standards, but the darn thing at load sucks up a large percentage of the
670W PSU's capacity and had to go.  Solaris 10 faired quite well on it,
and my friend who I have it to has little bad to say about Solaris aside
from the bloat and is looking forward to support.
