I recently bought a RaQ3 and needed some extra RAM with it, which costs a
gazillion dollars when you order it from Sun/Cobalt. I opted for the 32Mb
version, which (of course) was in one slot. Ripped it out, installed 2 x
128Mb and everything is running smoothly.

My *guess* would be that any RaQ3 with 128Mb or less surely will have it all
in one slot, which leaves one free.

Ehm... you could open the box? If your box is in production, I have no idea.
Perhaps there's a message in /var/log/message right after boot up, but I am
not sure it'll tell you about slots.

Good luck... Nico
