The supported memory type is PC133MHz DIMMs, which are standard for many Intel machines also. However, note that the memory should also be ECC (error checking and correction), which typically costs more. I recently bought a 256MB DIMM for my Sun Blade 100, and rather than do too much experimenting I bought a Sun part number compatible DIMM (ie. a cheap, but recognised alternative part for the Blade 100). The supplier was http://www.b2net.co.uk/. The chip I have is manufactured by Transcend (www.transcendusa.com), with part number TS256MSU6992. The Sun part number for a 256MB DIMM is X6992A. michael@wells.org.
