Do you know if there is a UNIX command that will tell me what the CPU configuration for my Sun OS UNIX machine is? I am also trying to determine the memory configuration. Is there a UNIX command that will tell me that?

There is no standard Unix command, AFAIK. I haven't used Sun OS, but on Linux, you can use this:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Sorry that it is Linux, not Sun OS. There is probably something similar though for Sun OS.
