From the article: "...Sun Microsystems Inc. caught and fixed a bug in some workstations with its new UltraSPARC III microchip, but technical and scientific computing performance will drop up to 5 percent, Sun said Thursday...." Not five whole percent. Damn! That's terrible. FIVE. Wow! A whole 0.95 of the full speed. Nooooo. Five Percent, I can't believe it. No. No really I can't. Five Percent. That machine is no good for anything other than heating a room. So you're telling me that it will only run at 95% of the speed I could expect if it was perfect. Like as if a 950MHz chip was clocked at only 902MHz. I want my money back. Really. P.
