"Decent RAM" does *not* cut it--you need *good* RAM from a good vendor.

Kingston carries this, and will even cross-ref the Cisco part numbers for you.
Ciscos have a greater expectation of on-spec behaviour from RAM. lots of really borderline stuff that works fine in the random PC clone doesn't cut it in a Cisco. in my experience, the Kingston stuff that cross references out to Cisco equivalents works quite well. richard -- Richard Welty NeWorks Networking, Inc. 518-244-9675 rwelty () neworks net http://www.neworks.net/
