might be wrong) --- it certainly would be true only for SUN's highend
servers...

Nope.  The new Sunblades are real dogs, with processors in the 700MHz
range (or, more likely, below), an 80MHz PCI bus and IDE-everything
--- no matter what OS, for most applications they're about equal to a
Pentium III at about 1GHz, which cost about 1/8th...
