Re: Need help with Sparc10 hardware

Hi Stuart,

all those items will carry a sun part number (501-XXXX). This and

http://mbus.sunhelp.org

will help you identify the CPUs and assess the differences.

As to "which one is faster", the regular answer is "depends". The huge
differences in cache sizes equalize the advantage in MHz between SuperSPARC
and HyperSPARC in a lot of tasks, but not at all in others. Same applies to
mbus speed: if you need I/O, a slow cpu with a high mbus speed might come
out faster...

P.S. http://www.sunhelp.org might answer your questions on frame buffers as
well.
