I've also had a rather positive experience using Aurora 1 and 2 on ultra5s, both in server and in desktop configurations. Probably the only negative point is the Ati Mach64 graphic card; overall graphic quality is acceptable, but when working with dynamic drawings (3D), the card is AWFULLY slow compared with recent, equivalent PC graphic cards... And I am limiting my comparison to PCI/AGP cards... However, this problem appears also when running Solaris9 on these machines. BTW, does anybody know if graphic performance in Aurora can be improved by using a Raptor card?
