there shouldn't be - even if you're running (or booting) Solaris in
32bit mode, it should at worst just ignore what it can't handle.
when you re-insert the 2GB you removed (and make sure it's properly
seated ...), what happens?
do you have any other OS you could boot or at least try for comparison?
