[Gmecm] What's the 500

[burntkat at sc.rr.com]

Gotcha, I didn't catch the 500 because I don't read long 'sigs. Still 
not sure how it worked into the discussion, but maybe I missed 
something.

Yes, pushing that kind of power I would agree, that 700 is not long 
for this world. Have you considered a standalone controller and a 
480LE?
