[SunRescue] we're all just spoiled (was: re: IPC)

I bought the 128MB of RAM for this box when it was about $170 or so which
was good at the time.  It then dropped to about $150, before skyrocketing
to it's current price of about $340 or whatever it is now.  Needless to
say, my machine won't have more RAM in it for quite some time, not that I
need any more as it is.  Other than the RAM issue and only 3 (real) PCI
slots, I think this board is great.  Full specs/manuals and errata in PDF,
with full paragraphs, not a few mere lines translated from Chinese and
some pictures.
