	For someone that has a 7300 with a 512k board, a few hours work
(actually, 7 all together) and some care results in a very nice
system improvement.  Perhaps someone with connections can manage to
get bare boards out of Convergent or AT&T, but junking a couple
of AT memory boards has *got* to be easier.

	I did mine last weekend, and now have a usable system, first
time since I bought it for myself 3 years ago.

	Thanks, Craig!
