[SunRescue] 450mhz Ultra 2?

[Naji Alkateeb]

Brian,

The official word is that Ultra 2's only support
processors with up to 2MB of Cache.


We have tried making modifications to the systems,
however, have never been able to get the 450/4mb
CPU's to work.

My techs tell me that they have heard of software fixes
that can trick the Motherboard into thinking that the
processor only has 2MB Cache.... This has never been verified.

The bottom line is why pay for a 450/4 when the 400/2 Mb CPU's designed
for the Ultra 2's are considerably cheaper...

and void my service contract with Sun? not a chance. :)

let me know if you get it to work though since i'll be trying to pick up an
U2
for home use in the not so immediate future (got tons of other stuff to
worry
about first) at which point i may be interested in doing what you suggest.
