Just a side note - the others are already answering your questions
below, if you have not received the 1Gb yet, cancel and change it to
two 512Mb modules. In most cases it will only cost you about $10 more or
so, but the PERL can use Dual Memory Channels. In my year or so working
with those boards I can almost guarantee you at least 10% speed increase
in the system as a whole.
