The journey is the reason, the destination is but an end.

And if it is the Sparcstation 20 you are speaking of, then the CPU's known
as SM81's are your desire. I have a pair, but cash is not what I seek, I
like toys (computer or otherwise such as PS2 stuff). SMP is very nice to
have, as often one CPU will get tied up in wait cycles while another can do
something usefull. Though the Sparctstations are 32bit they are quite nice.
For real fun find an Ultra 1 or (better yet) an Ultra 2.
