Buried in some of them, and others, well, it tells you what it will
take... and it *assumes* that you're just building the system, and buying
all the DIMMs as one batch, *not* that you're replacing a failed DIMM. But
you've got to match even things like cl2whatever. If it doesn't have
*exactly* what's on the other DIMMs, it won't work.
