  Throw another ~$100 at it and get a low end Ultra instead, you will =
like it much much better, or for the price of your upgrade, you can get =
a nice SS4 or 5 I am sure.

  Hello,
      I recently got a SPARCstation 2, as I mentioned a short while =
back, and was wondering whether it is worth the 200$ to fully upgrade =
this thing.  I was thinking of bumping it up to the full 64mb of RAM =
plus the 64mb daughter card, and a PowerUP processor upgrade.  Would =
such a machine be powerful enough to run as a OpenBSD workstation =
(console, no windowing system)?  I realize that in all likelyhood that =
200$ would be better spent on a 586 machine, but I would like to replace =
my current Athlon with something a little more reliable (and quite) then =
x86 hardware.
