Juat similar non-sucking report for Solaris 10 on an Ultra 5 400 MHz with 1 
Gig RAM and 120 Gig 7200 RPM IDE drive. I prefer SCSI boxes myself, but this 
is a very usable desktop machine, esp. with PGX24 video...

Nadine, FYI, this is what I ran at TCF this spring - you mentioned it was 
quite reasonable, IIRC ;^)
