While it's not historically accurate to emulate a Sparcstation 5 with 16 CPUs and 2 gigabytes of memory, it doesn't break anything to have this capability. We don't throttle the power of the CPU, speed of the network, serial or disk devices either, so they may be unrealistically fast. The timers are not accurate at all compared to CPU execution speed. Currently the memory on SS-5 machine is limited by the location of IOMMU and that the memory lies in one linear bank starting from zero. With more advanced banking and >4G patches, the entire physical address space could be filled with RAM.
