Andrew Holmes summed it up pretty well:
make sure your bootprom is > or = 2.19 and you use solaris 2.4 or greater

As of tonight I will now have the power of a machine built in 1996! :)

I also got a few questions as to where I purchased the processors. I
purchased them from Minicomputer Exchange (mce.com) which I recommend
highly.

Thanks to everyone for their help (about 25 in all),
