I've been watching this "Velocity Ram" garbage on the lists for months now (this
is not directed at you Mark). I can sum it all up in 2 points:
1. Your Mileage May Vary (YMMV). Some people may have good luck with Velocity,
but a number of people have had bad luck with them.
2. You get what you pay for. If you buy cheap untested Ram because *you're*
cheap, then you should not be surprised when it doesn't work.
