24mb in a true sun3. The 3x arches can take more (3/80 -- 64mb, 3/480 --
more, I think).

Actually, there's some limitations on the MMU, and on our kernel design
which make 24mb a hard and fast limit. I think the 2xx variants were
still limited to this. (though the Sun FEH implies it might have actually
been possible to get 32MB installed in a 3/260).
