The limit you will always have is 4 megs, no matter which accelerator
that you get.  The problem is your SE ROMs, they only support 4 megs.

The only option around this is to upgrade to an SE/30.  This will
get you a 68030 so the VM will work in system 7.0.  Also you get 
8 megs of hard RAM capability.   How?  New ROMs!

Of course, you will not get a 40 mhz cpu, but you can always 
accelerate later....
