hey hey, chill out man. PA-RISC and PPC-RISC systems are known as the best supercomputing systems in the world. You honestly think Sun can compete outside military contracts? Your kidding yourself. If you think x86 is worth the carbon is printed on, your shittin yerself. x86 should have died years ago. Do you think IBM would bother to make processors if only Apple computing was buying? No! Amiga's use IBM RISC proc's, so do rendering farms, and professional movie editing studios. Sound studios use RISC based digital mixers, video game console's use RISC systems (Game Cube, Panasonic GC, other variants) RISC means reliability, don't fool yourself! As far as other Architectures go, MIPS 16 - 128 are the some of the cheapest architectures you can get. A Mips 128 system at 350Mghz retails for below 1000USD.Infact, if you want a mips 128 box for cheaper than that, go buy a PS2 and the linux kit
total price 299USD.

i was commenting about pc/mac. Macs are underpowered, and we all know it. and everything else you said, i already knew. i never really said Sun makes the fastest processors in the world, i just said Sun "eats us alive" as in Pentium/G4/Athlon. but i still know Sun ranks as one of the top.
