Just wonder, will old UNIX ( for example the UltraSparcs ) will give better
performance then new P4/AMD ?
Does Linux support such hardware well ?
I've seen S.u.s.e Linux runs nicely on an UltraSparc (I think it was 5 or
10). It was pretty fast, but I did not benchmark it against a Pentium.
According to Sun the new UltraSPARCS, which have slightly lesser frequency
than the cutting edge Pentium 4's still perform better because of the
superior architecture. I know Alpha run faster than a Pentium with the
equivalent clock speed.
AMDs run faster then pentiums with comparable clock speeds. PPCs too. hell - anything runs better then a pentium with the comparable clock speed !
I wonder why people still insist on buying inferior technology..
