Ah, but what processor is it? The AMD K6-2 on the SunPCi card is not as
good as an equal clock speed Intel in my experiance. I have a 300mhz
card with 128 mb. That may well have made a difference. Yet, the PII 333
in the room can handle XP just fine. 

Additionally are the driver issues - Sun has stopped working on the
drivers for the older cards and, as it is, it takes tweaking to get the
card running under Solaris 9. 

All I have is my own experiance - and all I run on the card anymore is
DOS.
