By the way, while I'm at it.
The 4M ones can only be used if you have the right memory controller in 
a 11/750 as well, and then only two of them, in the first two slots. The 
rest are at most 1M cards, if I remember right.

And if you absolutely want to use 1M cards in an 11/70, ping me, and 
I'll walk you through the howto. (Update have done this in the past. It 
is not trivial, but it is possible.)
