Speaking of which, I have this really crappy Acer P200 with a 1MB Video
card onboard that I use at work, and after wiping out Windows 2000 and
installing Solaris 8, I finally have some nirvana at work.  I had
forgotten what made me love this OS so... and my last Solaris Intel
experience was with 2.5.1 back in college.  It's just great... so much
snappier.  My Pentium Pro would just sit there and churn in Win2K (128MB
RAM and an 8MB ATI) pausing quite a bit for inordinate amounts of time.
This thing just takes load beautifully, even on crappy ass Intelware.  I
wonder how it'd do on my dual Pro 200 1MB at home.
