That's the really big news here. The thing that has always kept me from buying a SPARC before is that event though the teaser price was low enough, you could easily add 50% once you bought a useful amount of memory.Now you can just trot down to your local Mom and Pop computer store. Of course, the only real reason to run SPARC/Solaris is to run the Sun Workshop Memory debugger and Performance Analyzer tools, and they are still rediculously overpriced. Maybe Sun will eventually figure out there is a market for this if the price is right. But I doubt it.
