The most recent AMD64 port runs much better than the 32-bit x86  
port.  I think the 32-bit port suffers from lack of memory address  
space, which the Solaris kernel is pretty much designed with since it  
originated on SPARC processors.

KDE is a cheap Windows knockoff.  Gnome is a cheap Mac OS X knockoff  
with parts of the Windows interface intermarried with it.

OpenWindows works pretty good in my Solaris VPC install on my dual  
PowerMac G4.  I haven't actually tried it on a PowerBook, but I think  
it would be OK.
