For EDA stuff like ASIC you should go with a Blade 1500 or 2500,
upgrading a U10 with memory will not gain any performance since you have
alot alot already.

I myself do EDA, both the 1500 and 2500 is great for that so its a
budget issue, if you don't buy many of them then I would pick a 2500
with SCSI drives and XVR 600 graphics, if money is of bnig concern I
would go with a 1500 and XVR600 and 1GB om RAM.
