That 512bit memory bus of the E450 is very nice :-)

Nay, you are just dispelling myths and legends.
Today's free hint: ----------------- Dallas Semiconductor: 800-336-6933 F630 NVRAM P/N: DS2229T-4M7 $200/each
At that price you can have 4 sets of NVRAM spares sitting around :-)
Tomorrow's free hint might be where to buy the Samsung dram for a F630 as well.
