I agree.
I answered the question of comparing Intel/
And sometimes, as I suspect was the intent of the original poster, you
just want to be able to check various stuff against a Solaris sparc

What you all, who are talking about performance, miss (or, perhaps, do
not understand) is that it is rarely for fun does one want an
(ex-)workstation or an (ex-)server. There

As a rule of a thumb, from a pure performance point of view, a one year old
Workstation ( originally $15K+ worth) will roughly have a perfo

Mostly, yes. But if you get it for _very_ small price (or free), and with
a good monitor, it will at least make a good XTerminal.

Which
I know one thing for sure.
ATA 100 added to my system at least 20% speed, and it shows on the
benchmarks.
I had problem with my ATA100 so i connected the HD to the ATA66 ide and i
noticed huge decrease in the performance on WIN98.

Well, for desktop there is no question for me. I buy AMD.
But server is another thing, Does anyone recall problems with AMD as servers

Yeah, me too, although I still got problems configuring the X server there

I've seen S.u.s.e Linux runs nicely on an UltraSparc (I think it was 5 or
10). It was pretty fast,
No.
Testing 400MHZ Sparc CPU against P3 500MHz, it came to be deppended
on the complition (cc, gcc).
My application was about twice!!! faster on the Linux.

depends which performance you're looking for;
I/O - Ultra Sparc will be much better
compiling stuff and anything related to cpu
Just wonder, will old UNIX ( for example the UltraSparcs ) will give better
performance then new P4/AMD ?
Does Linux support such hardware well ?

I would love to do it myself.
*IF* it was practical.
Unfortunately, it is not practical to buy a UNIX workstation from an
unknown and foreign own
Aviram,
I would strongly suggest that your company will buy through eBay - TONS of

Hi,
We're looking to buy old UNIX servers:
AIX, HPUX and Solaris. It can be an old piece of junk, but it must:
