Ok folks, I am not ready to make general recommendations yet but I do
believe that if you are planning on running SUN/3s as file servers
for NFS you want more than 4MB of memory, probably 8MB will do it,
especially if people will be logged in and working directly on the
server (say, thru dumb terminals.) Other than that my experiences
have all been quite positive (actually I'm tickled pink!)

Given the price of the added memory compared with the price of a
server plus volume discounts where applicable I see no reason to
hesitate.  Probably less than 10% additional in price (and only that
much because the rest of the system is so inexpensive.) Sun has also
been reducing their memory prices I believe, ask your salesthing.
