As noted in my previous post, that there is an ultra 45, turns out my internal sources inside Sun say that it’s a
Sparc based workstation. Can it get any more confusing? Untill the Ultra 20, all Sun Ultra’s were SPARC based, then they went and muddied the waters with a Ultra 20, and soon to be released Ultra 40, that are AMD Opteron based system, now Marketing has the Ultra 45 on the table supposedly a SPARC machine? How do they justify there numbering scheme.

You don't really need internal sources to tell you the Ultra 45 is a SPARC. Just do a search on Sun's web site. That will point you to a copy of the Solaris 10 Sun Hardware Platform Guide which lists the Ultra 45 under SPARC systems. Its platform name is SUNW,A70 codename Chicago.
hopefully the u45 uses a shallow motherboard like the SB2500 it is replacing
