None, needed, really.  I ran an LX with two 32MB memory modules for over
three years without incident.

ALL Sun memory must be true parity.

I got mine at the local PC wholesale shop.  It can probably be found on
eBay or a small computer shop with a clue (ie: not someplace like
CompUSA).  Just make sure it's 72-pin, true parity (not logic parity),
70ns or 60ns fast page mode memory (not EDO).

Supposedly, only the first bank can take 32MB SIMMs.  I never tried them
in any of the other banks, but this advice is pretty-much omnipresent, so
I see no reason to discredit it.
