- Be careful...IBM has marketed several versions of their memory chips (SD1, HD4),
and most are not available from 3rd party (In fact, the ones that I have talked to
could only reply "Duhhh" when I asked which chips they had). I have been told 
that you cannot mix the chip types, even between the paired boards.
