[Suns-at-Home] Raw Power

Hello Folks

Taking a line from Iggy Pop and the Stooges I wanted to throw out a  
question to the forum.

Having acquired a E3500 and an Ultra 1 in the last couple of months I  
find myself only really switching on my Ultra 5 to actually do  
anything useful.

The E3500 has much more power and the Ultra 1 is much quieter than  
the Ultra 5 but somehow it feels like my "home machine".

Is there a size-power-cpu-ram-diskspace to usefulness equation that  
I'm not aware of?

Best regards

Ben

PS I'm heading off to the UK to do a product install on HP-UX on  
Monday. Wish me luck but I have to admit that SAM and it's disk  
management stuff is pretty good.
