SUMMARY: blade 100 questions

Pentium III at 800+ MHz is faster than SPARC which comes with Sun Blade 100.
As I already have PIII with fast SCSI disk I will not change to Blade 100 as
it will not give better performance.
Some expressed that Blade 100 is not a server and thus 1 year warranty
should be OK. My main concern was that almost any PC comes with 3 year
warranty here (I know, most PC-like products are dead anyway at that age).
With Sun you have to pay "metal" support if 1 year is not enough.
Yes, there are people using Kingston (or other) memory modules with Blade
100.
My comments:
Blade 100 is too expensive (for me, for my own use). In Europe, Czech
Republic, it costs about 30% more than in the U.S. For such price you can
have a very well equipped PC (if you pay attention what to buy in order to
use it with Intel Solaris): PIII, 512MB RAM, SCSI card+disk. Certainly Sun's
own platform has other advantages over Intel, price not being one of them.

Hi,
Those of you who used both SPARC and Intel Solaris, is there any significant
difference running Pentium III 800 MHz machine and UltraSPARC-IIe 500 MHz? I
know these are different architectures but I am interested in overall
performance. I have Intel and before I buy Sun Blade 100 I want to make sure
it is not worse.
Is the base 1 year warranty enough?
Anybody using these kind of memory modules with Sun Blade 100?:
