If that teal Indigo2 is sporting an R4400 then it might be limited to 512MB of RAM. If it's got an R10k then you should be able to take it up to 1GB of RAM. Check this page , this thread , or this thread . Any of those sources will discuss thermal issues, as mentioned briefly on the Neko wiki Indigo2 page .

384MB, and the board will only work with R4k-series processors (R4000, R4400, R4600). IP28 (the R10k board) does 1GB of RAM but only works with R10k processors (usually not a big disadvantage).
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!

Living proof that you can't keep a blithering idiot down.

If you're still looking, I have an Indigo2 R10k/195+MaxIMPACT, with 192MB RAM. I also have 768MB of RAM that's ready to install but not tested. (It was sold as working last time anyone checked, and it's been sealed in anti-static bags since then, in cool, dry conditions).

I don't remember how big the disk is in it - 73GB I think, but I'm not completely sure. I can look tonight. The disk is installed in a 5.25" sled, since I don't have any 3.5" ones, so there's no CD-ROM installed, though I can provide one, along with a sled.

Updated the wiki page a teensy bit, to try and clarify which boards supported which processors, and that the IP22 is limited to 384MB.
