Scoop on 4D/35 memory options, anyone?

Part of the performance gain on the 4D/35 comes from a new main memory
simm design.  Current third party simms that work in 4D/20's and
4D/25's won't work in a 4D/35.  This new simm reduces the latency and
substantially improves the bandwidth of the main memory system on the
4D/35.  This is not a plot; it is a real engineering advance.  I
imagine that it can be reverse engineered by third party vendors so
this is just a warning to be sure that you know that it is different.
