Which Machine for swarm: Pentium Pro, or SUN Ultra 140?

[Jae Chan Oh]

Hi,
We have choice of buying either Pentium Pro or Sun Ultra 140 for swarm
application developement. Which machine do you think we should go with?
(In terms of computing power, swarm compatibility/friendliness, etc.)

Does anyone have any preference between the two?

The Specs are: 

Pentium-Pro:  200 MHz, 64 M Main Memory, 3.8 G HD, SoundBlaster, CD Player, 
              17" Monitor, Cost around $3,000. (we can add extra 64Meg)


Sun Ultra Sparc 140:
              143 MHz, 128 Meg, 2.1 G HD, CD player, 17" monitor,
              Cost around $5000


We will use Linux for Pentum-Pro and Solaris for SUN, of course.

Thanks,

-Jae
