My Ultra 30 gives my P3/800 a run for the money on number crunching (it kicks 
butt on SETI).  As my primary workstation, I find that it is quite impressive 
period.  Solaris has it's moments - but the hardware is ROCK SOLID.

 (Creator 3d graphics/256MB RAM/2x18GB SCSI drives/Sun PCi card).  

If you want to ask more detailed questions, email me offline and I'd be happy 
to help.
