[j-nsp] RE-850 memory/ram refurb

I have serveral RE-850-1536's that are starting to show ECC erorrs and HD failures. I replaced the 
CF cards a couple years ago but I suppose it's time for more parts to die now. (These are 
gray-market/non-support contracted).

For the drives I'm guessing Hitachi HTE541040G9AT00  might be a good fit:

The drives I seem to be pulling out of the RE's are Hitachi HTS, not the "enhaced availability" 
version, though I have no idea if they're the original Juniper supplied or if the previous owner 
messed with them too.

The memory is proving to be a little harder to find. Are they just regular PC133/ECC/CL3, maybe 
similar to what works in RE-3.0? Seem that info on this particular RE is hard to find, maybe not 
enough of them have starting dying yet...
