Yeah, saw it ;)

Not PCish - Compaq Proliantish. But better check which series, my
PowerStack II uses what fits into a 6xxx I seem to remember. There were
(are?) lots of these modules floating around on ebay and they were
(are?) also cheaper than Sun memory ( I got 4x 64MB
3.3v/EDO/ECC/buffered DIMMs for ~30EUR a couple of years ago )

I'm fairly sure some Compaq or IBM boxes use the same memory type as
Sun U5/U10.

have fun
Michael
