Thanks everyone for the speedy responses.
I am settled with 448MB for now. I was able to use up
to 7 slots of 64MB each, including the one of the two
labeled VSIMM for Video SIMM. I found out that the
SS20 is a headless machine. My machine got a video
card installed.
The last 2 slots are reserved for VSIMM is one wants to
use the built-in graphics adapter.
I'm still trying to figure out whether I can use the 7th
slot to have a total of 512MB. There are quite many
references that I should be able to upgrade this server
to 512MB. So far, I'm still short of the goal.
