            That's what I meant when I typed "higher megahertz module might be a
    performance gainer". :) In the orginal post, it was mentioned that
    if a CPU module upgrade is made a upgrade to the Openboot PROM must be
    made, as well. This particular aspect is something I haven't read at
    most Sparc help web sites, however.
