hi, the reason i ask is that we have 120 sunrays running off a 8 way v880 that is now out of warranty, and im looking at replacing with 3 x v4200s (2 cpu, dual core) in load balanced config.
the v880 handles the approx half screen flash playing behaviour across the 120 sunrays well , though am keen to hear how the X86 flash client performs and whether 3x4200s is a good replacement. my understanding is that there is no x64 flash client ?? also how do people find xpdf performs on the x86 platform? most of my experience is in the Sparc environment. thanks ---- "Lars.
