[SunHELP] Bus speed differences

[Michael Horton]

Bret,

The PCI bus is the bus of the future.
The SBus is the bus of the past.

SBus cards on eBay are cheaper and plentiful.
PCI cards on eBay are more expensive and fewer part
numbers are available.

The Ultra 2 is End-Of-Life (EOL).
The Ultra 60 is current.

I have an Ultra 2 at home to practice and test stuff. 
It is similar to what my customers have so I have a
reason to have one.  For my personal use machine, I
have a Ultra 10 or a Sun Blade 100.  Both are PCI
based and what I prefer.


Hope this helps,

HM
