My board  has the Award BIOS that allows an OS/2 setting for >64MB.
I was somewhate disappointed to find that the cache is not upgradable
on my motherboard.  Maybe this is a YMMV type of a situation?  I'll
post my observations when it arrives.  I originally considered buying
2 64MB but opted for the 4 32MB just in case the non-cached RAM 
penalized system performance.  Selling the surplus at a slight profit
would not present a problem. 
Thanks for your comments.
