The Sun Ultra 24 is an excellent workstation from Sun.
Review the option with the Intel QX6850 processor. Sun
hasn't updated the Ultra24 workstation with the
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 processor selection yet.
Sun Studio 12 may need some specific flags and tweaks
(i.e. -fast -sse4a) to get the

It may well be true, especially if you count by "applications". But
most applications won't benefit from multi-threading.
Most of the heavy applications I ac
I'm using SXCE b78, but awaiting SXCE b80+ for heavy
server load performance testing using the Intel QX9650
processor.

Dennis,
The 8-core single processor market dominates. You also have the
look into those Quad processors for
commodity sake...

That is always the way. I am sure I checked yesterday the site and not a
sign of it. I will give Sun UK a ring to see what they are selling it
for! At least I have an answer to my question and what cards to but if I
go else where.

At the risk of getting into endless loops of debates about "fast" I just
have to ask why you think that is the fastest processor i
Have you seen the Ultra 24 just released by Sun based on Core 2.

I am finally biting the bullet and ditching my work machine - a 9 year
old Ultra 10 - for a new system I thought I would go for the fastest cpu
on the market. I already have OpenSolaris running on "Core™2 Duo" box.
It may sound a silly question, since Solaris does run on Quad-Core Intel
Xeon,
