Gary, a top of the line Sun Sparc 333 w/4MB of cache currently goes for about $9500 apiece - this is normal for serious server chips - not desktop cpu's. The price drops rather quickly going to 2MB of cache or the 300Mhz speed like $5000 apiece.

Customers now can benefit from more performance and value at every price point. " Paul
