Has anyone had any luck getting more than 512MB of RAM on an Ultra 5? I saw a website with Ultra 5 infor that said that Sun at one point had info about a 1GB max on Ultra 5's, but I can't get it to recognize more than 512, even with the lates OpenFirmware...

you might try posting this over at the sun forum if you aren't able to get an answer here. its been really helpful for me as far as sparc hardware goes. http://supportforum.sun.com/hardware/index.php?t=thread&frm_id=2

To answer your question, if i remember correctly ( i could very well be wrong ) the max an ultra5 could take was 1gb of memory. 512 per bank (2x256).

BTW, please do tell your souce for getting all this memory. :D

www.spartantech.com Good prices, but I can't get the system to recognize the DIMMs as 256MB. (And they are 256MB DIMMs)
