[coreboot] Recommended memory for coreboot + ASUS KGPE-D16

[PeerCorps Trust Fund]

Hi BogDan,

Your build is going to be really nice :). My comment was simply a generalized curiosity about how the Opterons stacked up against each other. Also as far as I can tell, the G34 motherboards seem to be somewhat easier to source.
