Also, you may want to check with Toshiba to see what the max rated
memory you can get is. The fastest I see supported for a P10 is PC2700,
but there may be better latency times. Check and see if 2.0 CAS is
supported. The lower the CAS is (2.0 is lowest, then 2.5, then 3.0), the
better performance you are going to get. ;)
