[SPARCbook] ram upgrade on a 3gx

[Federico Lucifredi]

Hello Again!
    Thanks for the replies. I know about the FB driver problems (I am
writing on in my spare time), but that is no problem as text console is good
enough for me.

    However, I do not know how many memory slots does the 3gx - I assume 4 ?
Thank you for the no-64mb tip.

    -Federico
