We have used  Standard  memories in the past and have had no problems, but we
have no DS5000 experience.  I have just been taking telephone quotes for 8mb
boards for DS5000s, and Standard's $695 quote astounded all the others. 
Clearpoint was quite a bit highter. Second place went to DataRam at $950. Where
is Camintonn coming in?
