I just got off the phone with DEC Direct and found, to my surprise, that
they don't sell 32Mb boards.  I had thought that the 3rd party guys were
just following DEC's lead.

Why doesn't DEC sell a 32Mb board?  The ROM (5.3) supports them if I
understand correctly.

Anyone have horror stories about 32Mb boards in their DECStation 5000?  The
reason I ask is that I'm about to buy memory and thought I'd get the 32Mb
board since it wasn't that much more expensive and left me much more room
for expansion later.
