Hi,
To replace 8 sparc CPUs with 12 opteron CPUs should be a good
improvment.
If you need to run one (1 ) Flash animation per SunRay you are
probably O.K.
the Newspaper site I was mentioning is runinng 10 flash animations, on
its main page
I am using a Athlon64 3800 single core 2400 Mhz cpu
while surfing to http://www.aftonbladet.se

Status of virtual processor 0 as of: 11/27/2006 08:02:11
on-line since 11/27/2006 07:42:39.
The i386 processor operates at 2412 MHz,
and has an i387 compatible floating point processor.
There is only a 32-bit flash player available for solaris x86.
GPDF works most of the time for displaying PDF files
Evince which is included in Nevada/Gnome2.14 is ofcourse a lot better.

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

Yes the Solaris 10 x86 Flash player 7 works on the a Solaris based
workstation
and on Sunrays attached to a x4200 I have done both setups.
BUT, Flash player is a VERY CPU intensive application.
Here in Sweden we have Newspaper sites that are running A LOT
of Flash advertisements. So much so that parking a browser on one
of these sites will consume 25% of a 2400 MHz Althon 64 cpu
regardless of which operating system you use.
This makes it quiet impossible to allow Flash for say an
x4200 with
50 Sunrays connected. You only need about 10 browser surfing these
Newspapers sites to consume all the CPU power in the server.
Flash work well on a single user workstation but was obviously not
designed to work in a multiuser server.

Hi,
With solaris 10 on an x4200 - what are people using for a flash player? Does
the x86 flash player work on this platform?
Thanks
