Yes, that should work, although I don't know if the SS5 cares about whether
it's 2K or 4K refresh. This is what MemoryX offers for the Network Server
500, which is pretty picky about RAM, but seems to work fine in my ANS:

(btw, ignore the max RAM; it's wrong, and it's a Network Server, not a
Workgroup Server). Oddly, MemoryX does carry SPARC memory, but they don't
have anything there for the SS5. As with Mark, I'm only a satisfied customer,
not an affiliate.
