I like the idea of the x86 compatibility since almost all my stuff is
x86 (I do have a single Sparc, but it's an old 32 bit 40MHz SparcStation
IPX). If only I had a slowlaris liscense for it I could use it with
it's native OS.

If you are just interested in playing with 64-bit and SMP, you can get a
used Sun Ultra II with dual 64-bit 300Mhz procesors now. It's not a speed
deamon, but they are around $600 on e-bay. And STABLE!!! Sun hardware is
great. I am running SuSE 7.3 on mine.

Basically the Geek factor, and I've long wanted to play around with 64
bit archetectures and SMP. I have an SMP Athlon MP (palomino core) to
play with, but basically the geek factor. That and some of my stuff is
due for an upgrade anyway (I really need to make a dedicated 'doze box
for gaming and then give the linux box the ungodly amount of proc
power since I do a lot of stuff). I could go with a Clawhammer, but
from what I am reading, that is single proc only.
I also, being the student I am, want to try to get some hands-on
experience with this as it comes out so that I don't have to play
catch-up later on. Similar to my being on IPv6. I have absolutely no
real reason (I still use IPv4 for a lot of things), but I kinda want to
ride the wave in so that by the time it becomes popular, I already
know my way around.
