for the most part, you just swap out the CPU module.
double-check with sunsolve that yoru CPU model number is compatible with your motherboard model _________________ -Tim Smith |

the U5/10 unfortunately takes less-than-easy-to-find EDO dimms ...
a quick trip to ebay will give you an idea of the current prices, its a bit more than peesee ram but less than prohibitive. _________________ -Tim Smith |

ugh... yes i've seen...
ehm... may i question you? (last time i promise!!)
what OS do you advise me to install on this Ultra5 (270MHz, 128MB ram, 10GB hd)? I'm unsure between Solaris 9, SuSE 7.3 For Sparc, FreeBSD and (last but not least!!) Gentoo.... and if I'll decide to install Gentoo, from what stage do you think i could start? must be 1st or also 2nd or 3rd would be nice? If I'll install Gentoo from 1st stage will I see many improvements?
thank you!!
