I very much doubt you'll find any uniprocessor UltraSPARC II-based |
12 |
system that'll match the raw CPU performance of a 1GHz x86 system. |

The better question to ask is probably something like, "What US-II |
15 |
system will give me reasonable desktop performance?" |

Assuming a uniprocessor system, I'd say any US-II with a clock speed |
18 |
of 450MHz or higher will feel "modern" -- but don't expect it to |
19 |
benchmark like a 1GHz x86; for that, you'd need a relatively expensive |
20 |
US-III system. |
