Hello fellow SUN users, We are planning to upgrade couple of our SUN 3/280s to 4/380s, and we are encountering some difficulty planning upgrade of our third-party memory(CLEARPOINT). We are planning to upgrade to 4/380 with base 8Meg configuration and upgrade our 3rd party memory board to bring it up to 32Meg, but as many people know SUN has changed to new kind of memory on 4/300 series. I would like to find out if there are any 3rd party memory suppliers for new sun 4/300 series. Also, I would like to hear from those folks with experience in such upgrade. Thanks Chinson Yi UCLA, Computer Science Dept.

As far as I know there isn't anyone with board level memory for the newer 4/300 systems. I would suggest that you just buy 4MB SIMMS for the CPU board and run with that until those products are available. That will give you 32MB on the CPU board (it comes with 8MB standard). Remember that the 4/300 CPU board requires 2 slots, framebuffer or not. Regards, Jeff Weber
