I didn't go into this into great detail but I did read that the CPUs
sucked more and more with rising numbers. There were even rumours out
there that Sun didn't release the IV's specs because they would embarress
themselves. There were supposedly many software work-arounds for bugs
within SunOS that would make Intel's mess-ups look quite harmless. :-)
