SunFire V490 sizing question



Greetings. We are looking at getting a SunFire V490 with 4 cpus. It
comes with UltraSPARC IV+ at either .1.8GHz or 1.5GHz. A reseller told
us:



You want a 4 CPU 1.8 - they have a 4 CPU 1.5 that may be better



Anyone know why he'd recommend a slower cpu? The servers we are
replacing are seriously maxxed out E450s with 2x400GHz cpus, and loads
of up to 70 at peak periods.



Thanks in advance for any info you may have.
