Poul - I think you're mistaken. RB230 from routerboard.com provides an open
SODIMM which can be populated with more RAM than 128MB. However, the 230
is more expensive than the Soekris and - imho - their physical format is
much less well thought out.

I have used Soekris and Routerboard products and both leave something to be
desired, alas. I feel that of the three makers of geode-based boards, the
one that gives best value are pcengines. Alas, they are comepletely
unexpandable, even to the 48xx level.

Judging by expandability:
	RB230: PCI slot, SODIM slot, PCMCIA slot, Mini PCI
	48xx: PCI slot, Mini PCI
	WRAP: MiniPCI

Judging by price:
	RB230: ~US$200+RAM
	Soekris: ~US$200
	WRAP: ~US$120
