[sllug-members]: Memory Swap

[Cade Call]

I do have the G3 version, crucial's site is wrong (which is a first  
for me). I've traded half of the RAM out with PC2100 thanks to Jarom  
Hatch and it's working fine with that 1 gig. I would have thought  
that the 2700 memory would just clock down to 2100 speeds but  
apparently not. The system never posts and show errors on all the  
dimm slots with the 2700 memory in them.
