oops, sure enough! i didn't verify that there was no RJ45, just went on someone 
else's word... does anyone know specific specs for the memory requirements? like 
buffered/unbuffered, ecc, 3.3v?, etc?  what i'm getting at is: is there any 
chance that a generic 32 mb pc style dimm will work? i have plenty of those 
around...

thanks,
brian
