[SPARCbook] Looking to buy an Ultrabook

[Gary Borgen OLD]

To run Solaris 10 and above you will need a minimum of an Ultrabook IIi.
The Ultrabook I (170 and 200 MHz) will run Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 (up to a 
point).
At a certain kernel update (22?) the Solaris breaks, and you can no longer 
boot in 64 bit mode.

You can find Ultrabooks on fleabay.  They go for anywhere from $150 USD to 
$800 USD depending on how they are configured.  There are a couple of 
Ultrabook I's available now.
