To All:LU/SUN Announcement @ 9:30PST Monday. This will give the market THREE hours to speculate on what the LU/SUNW announcement will be at that time. LU and SUNW could spike up quite a bit on that speculation alone.All that CALL buying recently in the SUNW August & September 50's and 55's based on the rumor of IBM takeover of SUNW could pay off big for those buyers if this announcement is great news for SUNW.Comments please.

"...By 2002, Sun will be commercially producing the UltraSparc V, which will run at 1.5 GHz (1,500 MHz), or in terms of raw speed, about four times the rating of Sun's fastest chip now. It will be made, eventually, on an ultrafine manufacturing process, according to sources at the company..." ====================================================================== With Sunw working on porting Solaris to run on the new Intel Merced products and the UltraSparc V slated for 2002, it appears that a good line of products are shapping up.
