I recently bought a laptop ( the first one i ever bought in my life ). I went for a laptop which had a good price/performance ratio and something which Nevada supported. The Acer Aspire 2920 fit my needs (and my pocket) I also have an assembled box with Nevada on it. Performance of Nevada on both my laptop is poorer than Linux (not meaning to start a flamewar; it is my observation ) My desktop box has 4 gigs of RAM; the laptop has 2 gigs. So I am sure I have sufficient RAM. I do use ZFS for my /export/home though ( from what I read on this thread, ZFS is RAM-hungry ) I would love to own a SPARC machine someday. From my friends here ( some of them work at SUN ) , I have heard many stories about the reliability and robustness of SPARC hardware. These SPARC machines are very costly here in Bangalore (India). I have always wanted to know what is so special about SPARC hardware that some people still prefer it over x86. Someday, i'll find out! -- Manish PS: If there's anyone in Bangalore reading this and wants to sell a SPARC box, well here i am!
