Howdy,

Now I've some competition to find a elusive RE boardset. (drat) :-)

Actually, what I'd really like to find is a DG2/GE8 and a couple of
RM5's so I can have more texture memory, but I'll "settle" for a generic
RE w/ RM4's. :-)

I also need a set red skins, but eh..

Any particular reason for 5.2? W/ a full 256Mb of memory I didn't think
6.2 would be horrific performance..
