        I'm not sure offhand but I think amount of I/O would start to come into
play. Aside from that, a PC DIMM is simply too big, and WAY overkill for the
application. As someone here has mentioned SRAM parts are quite cheap, so I
don't see the benefit of adding the complication of DRAM in DIMM form.

        BTW, I am aware of SODIMM, which is much smaller, but that gets into
horrible surface mount + tiny pin problems. TTYL
