Turns out I had some drives left in my spare pile. I have shipped these down to OSU. So we
can put them in lfdev-amd64 and lfdev-ia32.

Also, we partitioned /dev/sdb on lfdev-ia64 which added 73 GB to /data.

lfdev-amd64 is a Celestica. I think it is model A2210. It is the AMD 8111/8131 Chip set
and is considered a 1 U server. As per Michael's request I added a model column to the dev
info wiki page.

lshw and dmidecode show it is capable of 8 x 512 DIMMS for 4 GB. So we can order 6 more
512 DIMMS.

lfdev-ia64 is capable of 16 GB. So, I can look into getting say 4 x 1GB DIMMS.

I am still determining the exact RAM for both lfdev-amd64 and lfdev-ia64. Once I have a
quote I will bounce it off Ted to make sure it is OK and then order it.
