Has anyone run any 3/60's with 12 meg of memory and noticed system crashes, where there weren't any with 8 meg? I haven't checked yet to determine if it may be application specific, but using 3 different cpu's and 2 different cpu cabinets, and 4 different SIMMs, we get crashes on the 3/60 with 12 meg, and not with 8....I can't believe they all have bad SIMM sockets. Most crashes seemed to be memory parity errors, however. Sun tech support is unaware of any problem with the 12 meg value. Could an application do it? Curiously yours, Dick Mead <mead@hamal.usc.edu>
