Actually, I don't believe that they will.  My experience is that the U30
and the first rev of the E450 (-2996) can only accept modules with 2MB of
e-$ or less.  You might be able to get around this by using the
limit-ecache-size OBP directive but this would eliminate one of the key
advantages of these modules.

The 400MHz/2MB modules do work in the U30, though.  I wonder if they'd
work in the -2996 E450 with the appropriate jumper setting (J2701 set to
2-3)?  Hmmm...
