Dang, you're right, I screwed that up :-\ Sorry, so the price is really
23 Euro for a new 1GB stick.
And yes, I agree on matching the speed - server boards can be so
sensitive about memory, it's annoying.

Given how much funds there are, it's probably best to just get as many
1GB as possible, unless 2GB would be cheaper per GB (which I doubt).
That'll increase interoperability as well.
