[SunRescue] Here's a dumb, quick to answer SS5 ?

Also, if you have the memory jumpers set too fast,
(both unjumpered) you can only use 64MB or the first two slots,
I'm not sure which.  They also require the "best" performing 
DIMMS.

I have had several 32MB SUN SS5 dimms go bad.  They are very sensitive
to excessive heat.  I don't think I've had any 3rd party dimms go bad.

The higher you set the memory jumpers, the better the DIMMS need to be.
Unfortunately, "better" is not something you can determine visually.
