I believe an IPC is about as powerful as a 486-something very roughly.

I own a sparc with a 17" monitor that I got for a good price.  I use it as
an Xterminal - the display is very good for this, and it is used to log
into my k6-233 (blake).

: I want to run gimp and vmware (win95 runnning one Macromedia

: either flash or fireworks).  Also does this include a mouse, are sun 
: mice three or two button?

Watchout for optical mice - they take some getting used to :)
Cheers,
