I was interested in that one till I read: One 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets Support for DDR2 667 MHz, DDR2 533 MHz and DDR2 400 MHz DIMMs (DDR 667 MHz validated to run at 533 MHz only) Support for up to 1 GB of system memory Boo!!! :) Nathan.

Arcea, nice! Any word on whether 3ware has come around yet? I''ve been bugging them for months to do something to get a driver made for solaris. -Andy ________________________________ From: zfs-discuss-bounces at opensolaris.org on behalf of James C.

Hmmmm, well depends on what you are looking for. Is the speed not enough, or the size of RAM? I am thinking people found out the original GLY would actually work with a 2-gig DIMM. So it''s possible the GLY2 will accept 2-gig also, which seems plenty for me. YMMV. This message posted from opensolaris.org
