[rescue] Blade 1000 and Video Cards

[Paolo Di Francesco]

Hello sun Gurus,

I just got a blade 1000, and I would like to hear if 
someone has comments regarding which is the best video 
card (and why) between the following models I have in my 
hands:

- Creator 3D (UPA)
- Elite 3d M6 (UPA)
- Expert3D lite

I am not sure if I got the Expert3D lite because I did 
not spent much time checking, but it's PCI, 13W3 
connector and I think it should be that beast. (I will 
check later)

Now the problem: when I installed solaris9 (latest 
version) the performance are close to ridiculus. I have 
1x750Mhz and 1GB ram and it looks like running on an old 
sparc, expecially when I move the windows. 
Compared to a normal PC, it looks like 800Mhz or 
slower... :(

Moreover the sun type6 keyboard is not like a sun type5. 
Very low quality compared to that old nice keyboard :(
I think I will change it with a logitec or so (the same 
for the mouse) but I don't know if that will work or not. 
It's USB I know, but can I change them?

And... does anyone know if I can use ps2 Keyboards? No 
PS2 connector is present into the Blade workstation but I 
really would love to have it so that I can connect my 
Blackbox KVM. 
Any idea? :)


Any hint is very appreciated :)
