	That's why I posted!  School's been awhile and I'm not too much of a techie,
but I wondered about that when the support guy told me.  Experience has taught
me to not argue with the gang at Big Blue, just nod and ask someone else later.
So, are *would* there be any adverse effects from using this RAM chip?  Would
performance suffer since it's underpowered?  I need some ammunition, since I've
emailed the guy about this...
