Excellent advice from all. Thanks a million. I have an Ultra 5 in the garage, in need of a hard drive and RAM., so that may be my first option. Especially since I'm working on a 0$ budget. When I picked up the Ultra-5 at a swap meet, the seller said I "could" use standard PC-133 DIMMs; although I know, Sun runs best on Sun-RAM. On a budget, for home use, can I really use PC RAM in this machine? Also, some of the replies lead me to believe an Ultra-2 is faster then the Ultra-5?
Thanks again for all the excellent inputs. I can't wait to get these up and running.
