The consensus was that this is safe to do in a uniprocessor
system running SunOS 4.1.3. The 60 MHz part has been running
OK since the weekend.
Some people suggested the ROSS HyperSPARC as an upgrade.
We've found that that the SuperSPARCs do better at database
than the 90 MHz ROSS. But we haven't tried the higher
speed/bigger cache ROSS parts.
