Tim,

I would be concerned about using standard SRAMS in place
of low power ones. You may put too much demand on the power supply,
hopefully only blowing a fuse and figuring out why. Or, if the RAM
is battery backed, the battery will probably fail very fast.
If you're not worried about these things, let me know and for the cost of
shipping I'll send you eight of the standard ones.

Hope this helps,
