What benchmark were you using? Regardless, I can't understand how your
Solaris box could crash as you're saying - we have had our Solaris x86 box
stay up as long as 60 days without incident (P133, 128MB RAM, 12GB,
extremely heavy usage). In fact, considering the PC hardware I'm quite
surprised how well it hangs together. Performance isn't on par with the
Ultra 1 by a long shot, but it's not so bad. Linux on the same box melted
under the load... which is why I'm skeptical <grin>
We're using a 3Com card, Adaptec SCSI-II controller, Pentium 133.
