Alban,
I just recently purchased a 32M upgrade instead of the 64 M based on the
comments from this list concerning the usability of 64M in the 365XD. I
don't think I will be going to the 64M in the near future. On the other
hand, if there is someone out there who is ready to donate to a worthy
cause, I will most certainly accept the challange to test the 64M DIMM.
