No. You can replace the 32meg module with a 64meg module and achieve 72megs. That is the limit.
Some places don't acknowledge any module than the 32meg one. It is out there. I found one on the net a
few days ago, while looking up something for reference, that posted a 64meg module.

Not laptop memory. I will have some 72 pin memory availible real soon.

Heh. Yup. More RAM! Everyone can always use more RAM! My PIII tower has so much memory (stocked up
now while the memory is cheap) I made a RAM disk to store the swap file on. Yeah yeah, I know that sounds
weird and counter-productive, but you can do it.
