Small correction:
SB 150 has IIi (512k on chip cache), is 650MHz, 40Gig drive(s). Most
people dump the little 40Gig drives and throw in 120s.

In general (from memory, with minor inaccuracies, no doubt): Sun Blade
100/150s have: IDE CD-ROM/HDD up to 137GB per drive, shipped with 15-40GB
drives ECC RAM, low-cost from Crucial.com, others 3 PCI slots 2 IDE HDD
maximum USB/Firewire ports that talk to Zip drives and some other USB
500-550MHz SPARC IIe CPU (small cache) will work with SunPCi I, II, and III.
PCI video/graphics cards only. Sun Ultra/10s have: IDE CD-ROM/HDD unknown
size limits, shipped with 9-20GB drives Sun RAM (more expensive, even 3rd
party or used) 4 PCI slots 333-440MHz SPARC IIi CPU (larger cache) will work
with SunPCi I and II one UPA Creator/Graphics slot, will use PCI graphics
cards also. Sun Ultra/30s have: Fast/wide SCSI CD-ROM/HDD (9, 18, 36, 72GB
sizes) Sun RAM, X7000-series 250-333MHz SPARC II? CPU 2 UPA graphics slots
noPCI. Sun Ultra/5s have: same as Ultra/10 except no UPA slot. For used
systems, "bang for the buck" depends on what you are going to do with the
system. For learning Solaris on SPARC, any of the above will do in any
configuration. If you need power and expandability, go for a newer Blade.
ThePCI graphics will work with most monitors: default resolution is
1152x900,but the card can be set to 1024x768x?? or 1280x1024x60/76. With the
UPA/Creator series, you either need a Sun monitor ($100-$300USD used) or a
13W3-HD15 adapter (about $40USD) and compatible resolution SVGA/XVGA
monitor.-- Larye D. Parkins Information Engineering Services PMB 435, 610 N.
