Two quick questions about the 6501.  First: According to the 
documentation, it has USB 2.0 ports.  But so does the 5501, and on my 
5501 under OpenBSD, the USB ports run at USB 1.0 speed.  Which is a 
problem, because I need to occasionally connect a USB disk drive for 
backups, and at USB 1.0 speed, that takes ludicrously long.  So does 
anyone know what chipset on the 6501 provides the USB?  And maybe even 
whether OpenBSD supports that chipset at 2.0 speed?  I'm still running 
OBSD 4.6, but new 6501's would be installed with version 4.9 (but I 
think the USB stack hasn't changed significantly).

Second question, probably mostly for Soren: I definitely need 2GB of 
memory (unfortunately).  Any idea when the 6501 with 2GB will be 
available (I only need minuscule quantities: one or two).  I vaguely 
remember that the first series will be 1GB, and the 1.6GHz/2GB will be 
significantly later.
