Well, I don't really know too much about the VS2000, but I've had experience
with Clearpoint (satisfied customer stuff) and have had no problems at all.
They are a very reputable firm and not likely to be selling `snake oil' type
products.  A similar thing holds true for the uVAX II; if you stick in a 16MB
board, you lose the 1MB on the cpu board, but get the whole glorious 16MB and
at a far lower price that DEC.  My Clearpoint memory is working so well that
I don't even remember which machine it's in anymore; last time I did anything
with it was when I put it in the machine a few years back.
