all true. You also cannot attach sophisticated storage devices to PCs; for e.g., a Fibre Channel - Arbitrated Loop disk array. A hub for a cabinet of SUNW FC-AL A5000s (Photons) for e.g. Should be noted that only on some Sun servers can you hot-swap or (hot-) upgrade components, such as disks or memory. Most you can add disks without a reboot, but only the Ultra Enterprise 10000 can dynamically reconfigure system board components (memory, and CPU(s)). We probably shouldnt be comparing PCs to Suns anyway. These are two different markets: MSFT has the corporate desktop, Sun (and some other unix hardware companies) own the datacenter. A PC is not a server.
