[X4U] RAM counsel

[Russell McGaha]

Jesse;
	I would go with third party RAM; as long as it is a reputable  
dealer.  Crucial, Lifetime, or OWC [OtherWorldComputing], and the  
like.  I've had VERY good results with OWC branded RAM for both  
Desktops and Laptops.
	You could always try to sell the 512Mb chips on either Ebay or  
somewhere like LEM's swap list.
