| Has anyone run any 3/60's with 12 meg of memory and noticed system
| crashes, where there weren't any with 8 meg?  I haven't checked yet to
| determine if it may be application specific, but using 3 different cpu's
| and 2 different cpu cabinets, and 4 different SIMMs, we get crashes on the
| 3/60 with 12 meg, and not with 8....I can't believe they all have bad SIMM
| sockets. Most crashes seemed to be memory parity errors, however.  Sun
| tech support is unaware of any problem with the 12 meg value. Could an
| application do it?

We upgraded our 2 3/60's to 12MB of memory by adding Clearpoint SIMMs.  We
haven't had a single memory related reboot and it's been 8 months since
the upgrade.
