[rescue] Ultra 2 Memory

Just an FYI, I read the messages about people installing memory in the U2 
and having
problems with it, and I thought I recalled reading something that said you 
have to install
SIMM's in sets of 4 in the U2, but wanted to check first before I sent that 
out.  I also seem
to recall that I ran into this same issue.

  I just now had time to check (yes, life is crazy, with my Dad getting 
ready to start chemo,
and my mother-in-law undergoing chemo....sometimes things just suck...) and 
I was right.
The on the Sun System Handbook 
(http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/U2/spec.html)
and at the bottom of the section on Main Memory, it says "Install SIMMs in 
sets of four"

So, don't know if people were installing in sets of 2 or 4 (but I thought I 
saw one
message in this thread that said 2...)  but I know when I tried 2, got 
strange results.
Put in 2 more, and fired up just fine...

Anyway, FYI.

Earl
