Well, for the other internal stuff, we know atleast the following works
on the Tyan 2885.

MFG:              WINTEC
MFG P/N:          35954754L
Description:      PC-333. PC2700, 1GB, LOW PROFILE, DDR SDRAM -FSB333, ECC, Registered

btw, that PDF that Nakata mentions above is also in english and can be
found at

HDAMB

It lists the ATP we're using on our HDAMA's. 

I'll don't have the info on our Infineon stuff at the moment, but we're using
it on the Celestica 4p's with no problem.  I've also run it on a Rioworks HDAMA.

Buffalo reportedly works on Tyan 2885's *if* you get the right kind.  You'd have to ask
them which is correct, though.  We opted not to use them and stick with
ATP for the Thunder's during our testing.

Yeah, we've found memory to be a sticky situation right now.
