The last update to the excellent memconf utility (V2.5 22-Feb-2008) support properly recent Solaris Express releases, and my recent change from the stock AMD Opteron Processor 148 to an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+. (I mostly did that change just to be able to access two run queues separately, not to gain more power per se.)

So, here is the new and appropriate memconf report:
