Crucial sells 2GB DIMM's that they guarantee to work on the 1500/2500
(total of 8 GB for the 1500, 16 GB for the 2500) and they sell 4 GB
DIMM's that should work on the 1500/2500 (but at $3500 each, it could
be an expensive experiment).

The docs on the JBUS indicate that UPA support is possible - but there
is very little incenive to provide it - cheaper to buy someone else's card.
