It is just like FDDI cables. I spent $250 on FDDI cables, ==>and then found out that I can get the exact same cable for $50 each. There is a list of third-party RAM that Cisco approves, and this list is available on CCO *somewhere*. I don't remember where, though; Paul Ferguson is really good at remembering where this stuff is, though. The reason you should at least follow Cisco's recommendation for RAM is to keep your router at least running sanely. I have seen WAY TOO MANY machines (including routers) do really weird stuff because the operator(s) used cheap re-labeled RAM from Fry's or similar. Usually, it's in the form of weird segfaults in UNIX, or software-forced-reloads in the case of routers. /cah - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
