And indeed I've just check it's spec sheet, and it does
have a single x8 PCIe slot, so that should be fine.
For what we want I am finding it hard to see any concrete
reason to prefer the R610, but I do feel still slightly
squeamish about the R310.

If we're agreed on the spec it would be very lovely if
we could get it added to the portal as one of these
pre-canned options.
