Hopefully like the depreciation we saw in the Ultra 5 and 10 market? I
was asked last night and I had no idea so I said I'd check here with you
guys for your opinions. I don't see them coming down soon but I'm no
economist.


The Ultra 5/10 are generations apart from the Ultra 20/24/40?
(if not all that far apart in numbering schemes).

I'd say the Ultra20 is pretty reasonable right now. One going for $250
right now on eBay? But Sun does still sell it new currently.

The Ultra 24/40 are their current Sun x64 workstation offerings?

Gear comes down in price after its been EOL'd from the manufactorer
and everybody is dumping it to get the next greatest thing.

Then it comes down again after it is ancient history (like Ultra 5/10)
and isn't too usable for the majority of the users compared to other offerings.
