It'd be interesting to know if that still applies to the ECC DDR2-533
ones needed for the HP.

I'll ask my old co-worker to check how much he'd have to pay for them.
He can buy them directly from the distributor. I don't know how that
will compare to the ebay prices.

If the machine has 2GB right now, then according to the hp page, it'll
have 2x1GB. So should the target be to get as many 1GB sticks into the
machine as possible? Or switch to 2GB ones for future expandability?
