Well I'm not using it as a workstation, it'd be unbearably slow with any amount of memory (yes I have used SS5's as workstations but that was then and this is now). > Any OS, however, that doesn't run well in 128Mb is a broken OS in my > opinion, and that 128Mb should include X.

I reckon about 256Mb minimum for Mac OS/X 10.1 but then I have 384Mb in my Powermac G3/300 and it's all needed if I have to run a Classic app like Microsoft Office 98. > I am rather surprised that they're still supporting older Sparcs.

I've run Solaris 8 on a sun4d box (SS1000E) so I'm sure it runs on sun4d , I've no idea I'm afraid about the 9 beta.
