If a customer wants the Fujitsu Sparc V, they can just buy a Fujitsu PrimePower NOW. We've got a server room full of junk Suns containing USII 400 Mhzs (with the nice crashing flaw that Sun support blames on Cosmic Rays), so we've happily starting buying PrimePowers instead. Fast as hell (1.35 Ghz SPARC V!), full ECC memory correction, and less expensive than the Suns to boot. Did I mention they run Solaris natively and thus also run every application we use on our Suns?

These guys have taken the SPARC performance crown from Sun, their support is better, and their machines are more stable. I can't wait to shitcan our crashy UE10000, hopefully in favor of a Fujitsu PP 2500.

I have played it on our T1 and it was great, tried at home and it was a dog.
