Judging by recent postings on this bboard, 4-Mb SIMMs are available and come relatively cheap (i.e. approx. $500/chip or $125/Mb). Does this mean I can simply replace the 8 X 1-Mb SIMMs on a SPARCstation 330 CPU board (for example) with 8 X 4-Mb ones? Our Sun sales rep says that Sun's 4-Mb chips will be physically taller than the 1-Mb version and might therefore only fit on a memory expansion board and not on the CPU board. Is this true of all (reputable) 4-Mb SIMMs on the market? In addition, our sales rep claims that Sun's 4-Mb SIMM upgrade will require a PROM swap as well. Can anyone verify this and elaborate if true? I'd kill for answers to these questions, but I'd settled for a few responses. Many thanks in advance!
