This is the beefiest SPARC I have ever seen. Very cool this is running. Getting this set up is no easy feat if you haven't tried before. Props to OP

> This is the beefiest SPARC I have ever seen

My sarcasm detector came defective from the factory, and I've always struggled with getting it to work effectively.

So, if you aren't being sarcastic: 20 years ago, place I worked had a Sun Fire 15K. They supported max 576GB of RAM. Don't remember how much ours had, it probably wasn't a maxxed out config, but I'm sure it was a lot more than 1GB. The machine cost over $1 million dollars.

I only ever played with a sparcstation 5, and mine had a whopping 128MB and felt like room to spare.
