Dave, when I had a U5 I had replaced the original 360mhz/256k cache CPU
with a 400/2m one, and it really made a BIG difference. Having said
that, my U5 with it's internal PGX-24 was my main workstation at the
time, and now a U1/200 with a creator is my main workstation, and I can
barely feel the difference, even tho this machine is technically slower.

Yep, mhz ain't everything, those SuperSparc II's really seem to fly
sometimes.
