My dual PPro motherboard actually requires /buffered/ memory, so you might
want to be careful.  I have no idea what is more prevalent for
multiprocessor machines, but in any case you probably want to be sure
which kind of memory your particular machine requires (Alas, I don't know 
what the Ultra 5 uses). No one wants to fry their new 128MB DIMM's. ;)
