Sun Ultra Workstations
Sun Ultra Workstations
(OP)
my company is finally looking to upgrade the SWx workstations, we are looking at the Sun Ultra workstations (either the Ultra 20 or Ultra 24s) anyone using one of these for SWx? The SPECapc benchmark results are what have us interested.

RE: Sun Ultra Workstations
I used to administer a bunch of Sun CAD stations. It has been awhile, but I would guess that a Sun ULTRA station would run off a Sun UltraSPARC processor. I love UNIX. I like the Gnome desktop, which is what I believe Sun uses now.
What are the chances of Wintel based SolidWorks running on all this this? Not good I would think.

The Sun workstations now use AMD processors and are capable of running whatever flavor of Windoze you prefer (or Linux or Solaris).
