SS10 is dog slow. The stock processors were 40mhz. I believe the slowest SS5
was 75mhz. Most of the SS10's you see being sold are also single processor.
The cpu is sun4c(memory is fading from those days) while the SS5 is sun4m.
actually, the original CPU's in a 10 were 33mhz.
also, ss10's are quad-cpu capable.
Slightly off topic.... but.... was there a couple of different
motherboards, then?? I presume that the quad unit has 4 MBUS slots, or
were dual cpu modules used. The reason I ask is that my SS10 only has 2
MBUS slots.
