I've personally witnessed 7.3.3 run on both 5/10's. Seemed to work just fine, although I definately noticed the reduced disk I/O due to the IDE disk. Be aware however, that the Solaris license agreements precludes you from running db servers on a workstation license. License upgrades from workstation to server O/S are available. The part number is SOL-DTWG-LU and it's $1795 if I remember right. That's an upgrade from a desktop Solaris license to a workgroup server license.
