- That's probably Jon's best bet.. But why upgrade to a SPARC 2, when
- the SPARClassic at $4295 is a faster (or at least equivalent) machine?
- I think I read somewhere where Sun was providing an upgrade path for
- older SPARC's to the SPARClassic. Here are Sun's benchmarks:
-
- SPARClassic SS2
-
- SPECint92 26.4 21.8
- SPECfp92 21.0 22.8
- MIPS 59.1 28.5
