I have a sparc 2 (40mhz...Weitek upgrade to 80 in some cases.. SBUS proprietary
slots)
Sparc 10 has proprietary SBUS slots but can take  2 processesors of  various
grades of
CPU(they must be identical) . Both of these designs are roughly 7+ years old.
Both
run SOLARIS  2.6 Both have I believe SCSI 2.  The ultrasparc is a single 300+
mhz (various grades) with standard PCI slots and maybe IDE drives...

Sincerely,

I am currently running the Spacr 2 with Solaris 2.6 but have the option to
get a Sparc 10 or Ultra Sparc 10.

Where do I find out the details of these machines, CPU type and speed memory
configuration scsi type etc?

I realise that the Ultra is going to be the fastest but by how much. Typical
use for the Sparc 2 (64 meg ram) at the monent is file server for 10 users,
accessing 3gig of storage, mail deamon, some dial up ppp routing, and two
Reflection users running some fortran and C data manipulation programs.

What do you think?

Cheers James.

AFAIK the Sbus is an IEEE standard.

J?rg is correct.

James,

Depending on the chip you get, the SPARC 10 will be 2-3 times faster than
the SPARC 2.  The Ultra 10 will be more than 10 times faster.  That's
based on SpecINT and SpecFP.

As far as what memory and disk are on board, that's gonna be up to you and
your vendor, so you need to call them and get quotes.  I would guess the
way Sun has things priced that you probably can't get a 10 for a whole
cheaper than an Ultra.
