[c-nsp] Public table on 7206 VXR with NPE-G1 - 512MB or 1GB?

[The Mickster]

Thank you, to Engel, Jose, Elmar, as well as to all of those who wrote to me
off-list!

I've gotten the information that I need (which is that 512 MB is plenty for
a VXR, NPE-G1, at least for now, at least for how I plan to use them).

I also thank all of you for the little bits and pieces of additional
knowledge that I got from your replies, much of it not even related to my
question.
