[c-nsp] 12008 GRPB memory problem.

[Troy Beisigl]

Yep, that makes sense. 

Thanks to everyone for your fast replies. I will see how this performs with
the 512M when it arrives tomorrow.

Can't say why, exactly, but generally speaking there's no reason to be 
surprised - they're two different architectures.  Aside from ordering 
gear with maximum memory (I just tell my sales rep "max bling" and he 
knows what I mean), you'd do well to bring up one device of each family 
and document the native memory usage.
