From where did you get LSI MegaRAID controller with 512MB? The

Can you just swap out the DIMM card for higher capacity?
We've swapped out the DIMMs on MegaRAID controllers. Given the cost
of a standard low-end DIMM these days (which is what the LSI
controllers use last I checked), it is a very cheap upgrade.
Admittedly I've never actually run benchmarks to see if it made a
significant difference in practice, but it certainly seems like it
should in theory and the upgrade cost is below the noise floor for
most database servers.
