I have just bought a dual 900mhz Sparc machine with 2gb memory. for

bits and pieces.
Is it a SunBlade 1000 by any chance? If so you'd better have a good A/C in
the room. :-( I've only been able to run mine in the dead of winter when I

No it's a 2000. It's a lot bigger, noiser and heavier then I was
expecting. I was thinking it was just a tower machine. I didn't
realise the depth of it.
Any idea how well these run with Solaris 10, do you know if it would
run any quicker with 8 or 9.
