I've run 8400s up to 2GB. Any more than that and you'll find that S/G
DMA hasn't been finished ;-).

Also, haha, you'll find that ECC errors aren't corrected, since TLASER screwed
the pooch wrt ALPHA spec and requires you to run around and fix ECC errors
induced by the I/O boards.

Since I now, for the first time in 4 years, have a real external customer who
actually might run TLAser, I guess I'd better finish this, hadn't I?
