If you can find an Ultra something (other than an Ultra 5 -- it's
cheapness incarnate) for less that $2K it's a good bet; at least
it can run 64 bit code under 2.7 (nee "Solaris 7") and later.
Failing that a 150Mhz Ross HyperSparc equipped machine can at least
get out of its way; I use a dual 150 as my daily beater.

Best,
Chris
