Here in the U.S. I would call "Memory World" or some other memory dealer
and ask. I don't know how knowledgeable dealers in Poland, or other
countries, might be.
You could try http://www.docs.sun.com/ and search for the hardware
documentation for the Sun Fire V240 as I just did.

good prices. too bad they don't seem to ship outside the US.

Many businesses do not ship outside the U.S. It does require some
expertise and exposes a business to risks it is not accustomed to!
There is, however, a solution. There are businesses called "freight
forwarders" who, for a fee, will receive your merchandise, complete the
necessary customs declaration and other paperwork, pay the necessary
bribes, etc, etc, etc. AFAIK, shipping from the U.S. to Canada, or vice
versa, is not terribly difficult or expensive but it does involve at
least two sets of laws, U.S. and Canadian, two currencies, etc.
Shipping to more exotic destinations can get very complicated.

I've found numerous ebay sellers which state they will only ship to the
USA. I've often found if asked, they will actually ship outside the USA.
Many think the process is a lot more complicated than it actually is.
I've also come across the problem of ebay sellers selling things on ebay
uk, in sterling, claiming to be in the uk, but in fact are not.
I bought an Ultra 30 from someone in Stoke on Trent (about 100 miles
from me), only to find he was not really there at all, but in Canada. He
was shipping a crate of them to the UK and paying a distribution company
in the UK to forward them. It took about 3 months in total for a
machine to arrive DOA. I managed to get most of my money refunded, and
fixed the machine. (Just to add insult to injury, he charged me 17.5%
VAT on the transaction, despite that was not on the auction. Later when
I found out he was in Canada, I managed to recover that).
I've sold several things on eBay to people outside the UK (last one
being a Nikon F6 camera) and never had any problems.

I respectfully request that this message is not archived by companies as
unscrupulous as 'Experts Exchange' . In case you are unaware,
'Experts Exchange' take questions posted on the web and try to find
idiots stupid enough to pay for the answers, which were posted freely
by others. They are leeches.

I've done both. I'd prefer to ship only to US.
Doing the customs paperwork is a pain, and the shipping costs are
a lot higher and harder to predict than just US domestic shipping.
Its certainly understandable for the attitude. Especially when
domestic shipping is as simple as printing out a label and slapping it
on a box.
But I would do it for certain things, like if I didn't want something
vintage to go into a landfill, and the buyer is out of the US.
I did do international shipping then.
