Beware of what memory you install, if it is not on the "official" approved
memory list from Cisco, it will basically void any warranty/support contract
you have if Cisco finds out.  Also Crucial and Kingston only list memory for
7500 and below, so if you are looking for memory for an ESR/GSR you'll
probably have to buy from Cisco.  Ouch ;-(

Cisco will give you a list of approved memory, but you need to open a case
with TAC to find out.  They don't post the info on the web.
