- Are you sure about this one? What kind of SPARC do they have in
- there to give twice the performance? I agree with half the price,
- but I'm not so sure about the twice the performance part. The
- name "classic" appeneded on the end make me think of the onld
- Sparc 1's which are quite a bit slower than the turboes.
