The question: which one is faster: Sparc 4/110 and Sparc 5/85 ?

The answer: check out website: www.spec.org <http://www.spec.org>

Sparc 4 is a Sparc 5 in all but body (not as good video, less internal
expansion, no sound). They use the same CPU chips, so a Sparc4/110 will be
faster than a Sparc5/85. Sparc 5, however can go to 256Mb RAM, but Sparc 4
can only to 160Mb.
