Thanks to all that replied - too numerous to mention (and too many offers of
refurbished UE 2's.....).

memconf -- suggested by some of you did the trick to allow me to view memory
configurations of Sun servers.... Indeed the UE 2 can handle 2 GB memory in
4 quads of 128 Mb each....

As to the question of performance comparisons, I don't know if you'd agree
but keeping HA and redundancy features aside, the UE 2 with 2x300 Mhz CPU's,
1 GB RAM and I/O channels (Fibre or SCSI) should perform just about the same
as a similarly equipped UE 250 or even UE 3X00... On the other hand, please
tell me I am wrong...


Thanks all.


NELSON
