I have successfully used a 365XD with a 64-MB module and WinNT. The
machine was only supposed to accept the 32-MB module but did recognize the
larger module and counted 72 MB. One point to note is that since the 365XD
has no L2 cache, you don't even get a performance hit for going above
64 MB. The machine ran extremely smoothly in this configuration.
