RE: 9i download

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.

  Paul 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.   Ivan Rivera
