cpu/nic is very specific

how about specific manufacturer of the memory ?
( and it does make a very big difference )
	- mushkin, corsair, kingston would be amongst the first few 
	  vendors that we would start from
	- lei, century(?), couple other is the next tier
	- i would not use any of the rest of the vendors in any dual-cpu
	  systems

and more importantly, do you know if they used "brand new memory"
or recycled memory from other dead/randomly crashing systems ( returned
parts )
	- systems usually worked, solved itself, when i bought
	brand new memory from the distributor or a pc store i trusted
	would sell me new parts vs returned parts

thanx
