Well, guess who just pegged the Bull$h*t-o-meter.

I should have known better, The Sun Documentation is usually right about 
things like this, but I figured, "Hey, I can learn something new..."

Well, here's the test results (just in case anyone might have wondered) :

16 DSIMMs = boot
8 DSIMMs = boot
4 DSIMMs = boot
2 DSIMMs = no boot
1 DSIMM = no boot.
in an Ultra2 model 2200, S/N 837T0090

So, what Model of Ultra 2 were you using to "test memory" hmm?
