As far as i knew it was only _free_ for the uniprocessor Intel systems.
I'll check to see, but in such a case, i dont think _free_ is the right word..

yep, just checked...

"you can use the software on single processor computers supplied to you by Sun or its authorized distributors or based on the Intel architecture."

Solaris is only good on sparc architecture, on Intel it's just too slow
