Additional thanks to Casper Dik, from Sun Holland...
Cheers, Alex

> 250MHz or greater -> Ultra SPARC II, eg. used in the E450, Ex500,
E10000

> Ultra SPARC IIi is a cut down version available in the low end Sun
systems.

>
> Hello all,
>
> Just a couple of quick questions:
>
> 1) Solaris Resource Manager 1.0 - has anyone used it yet? If so,
> good or bad experiences with it?
>
> 2) I was looking at the price difference between the Ultra SPARC 336
cpu
> and the Ultra SPARC II 400 cpu... Is Ultra SPARC performance better
> then Ultra SPARC II, as the later is half the cost?? I was under
the
