The RAM in the SPARCbook 3GX is "standard" 72 pin Parity RAM, unless you want the "double DIMM" that takes you to 128 Meg (by using two 64 Meg DIMMs, each is electrically a dual 32 Meg DIMM)...

They were also "low profile" - only one inch tall, IIRC...

They were once compared to unobtanium - I had one laptop with a pair, I think it went to Bob several years ago...
