Hi Jimmy, hi August
Hopefully your simulation time is limited by the CPU and not by the disk. In the latter case you should consider diminishing the number of nodes to be saved to reduce your simulation time. In the case of CPU limitation, you can expect a non-neglegible improvement (2x?) on P4 with respect to SPARC. I have heard that AMD performs even better for simulations than P4.
Maybe the new Sun processor to come out will catch up a little bit?
Large RAM is not mandatory for many simulations, but very useful to run DRC/LVS and P&R, both on Sun and PC.
