[comp.sys.sun] Questions about installing memory in 4/370

sgw@ghoti.lcs.mit.edu (stephen g. wadlow) (10/08/90)

We're about to get on of our 4/260's upgraded to a 4/370.  The resultant
machine will only have 8 mb of memory.  The simple, easy answer is to go
off and buy sun's 24mb memory board, and bring us up to a comfortable
32mb.  I was wondering if it was possible to remove the 1mb simms on the
4/370's motherboard, and replace them with 4mb simms and save a couple
kilobucks. 

has anyone ever done this?  is this feasible?  Comments or suggestions for
alternative upgrade paths would be appreciated.

[Note: I'm assuming that there are only 8 simm slots on the 4/370, hence
4x8=32.  I'd love to put more in, there should happen to be 16 slots.]
