Actually, this is not quite true.  I bought my PS/2 55SX this summer to
run OS/2 and Windows (which it does just fine).  Rather that buying a new
board to bring me up to 6 megs, I bought one of the new 4 meg simms.  They
are kind of expensive normally (the best I found mail order was about $900)
but through my university I got one for $650 and installed it myself.
