You again only in different newsgroup. What's your BUDGET?
Then maybe we can help. If you want to know costs and what's available
now from Sun,
unlike Oracle licensing, that's easy to look up at sun.com.
Even then its a negotiation with Sun or your local reseller.

I seen an article comparing the V440 to the T2000,
What article? Im familiar wth both machines. They arent
really the same type of thing. Anyway the T2000 is the past.
Move on : >

but no such luck when it comes to the V880/E450.

The Sun site says that the V880 series has been replaced by the V890
The E450 is so old that I dont know what to add here.

Here are my specs on the V880:
16 GB RAM
10 x 73 Gig HD
8 x 1.050 Ghz CPU

Theres still life in this machine.

Here are my specs on the E450:
4 GB RAM
10 x 9 Gig HD
4 x CPU UltraSparc II 400 MHZ

Suitable for testing Oracle after a makeover.
More RAM and an HBA to a SAN might breathe some life into this one.

Trinean mentions the 5220 which I have also recommended to a client
recently.
But an 8 core box is NOT cheap, you'd need the full 60 day Try&Buy to
see if
it can handle the load thats being asked for it now and in the
"forseeable" future.

My fave machines right now are the M series. But a fully loaded M4K is
out of
sight budget-wise for most folks. But the 2 CPU version is JUST
affordable for some.
