Hmm, I'll be flamed to death, but I have to tell you the truth: they all
suck.

Any sparc64 hardware is either completely lame (expensive RAM, *extremly*
slow IDE, ...), features no PCI bus, or is prohibitively expensive.

If you have been in the sparc camp for some time, you may be able to live
with SBUS instead of PCI. In that case, I'd go for a dual U2 and start
working on sparc64 SMP support ;-)

Sorry,

Martin
