Very
suitable, it is a great machine, just don't plan on getting any upgrades
cheap. Memory and DVD are astronomical priced.
256Mb
would be better, but I believe you can run 9i on 128Mb.
The
blade is a nice machine, really nice for a workstation as it has USB and some
newer features, but considerably smaller L1,L2 cache which makes it a bit slower
for server type apps than say a U10.
But it
is still a great machine for the money, no questions there.
Perfect for that task you mentioned. But i would recommend getting
128Mb additional.

Subject: RE: 9i downloadPaul and all others interested. Ebay seems to be a great source for used sun boxes, I've also noticed at sun's site they have a new workstation for $999. Now of course you'd probably need more ram but this setup looks like it can handle and run 9i, etc for testing purposes at home. Hardware guys out there could you determine if this is enough? Thanks.
