Are you sure about this one? What kind of SPARC do they have in
there to give twice the performance? I agree with half the price,
but I'm not so sure about the twice the performance part. The 
name "classic" appeneded on the end make me think of the onld
Sparc 1's which are quite a bit slower than the turboes.
