This is exactly what I did with my old Ramworks //... I bought it with 256k
and bought 768k from MicroProcessors, Inc.  I thought I could just move 
those chips from the ramworks // to the gsRam.  It only worked partially...
The Hitachi chips that came on the Ramworks // worked on the gsRam, but the
768k of Toshiba chips I had previously purchased from Micro... inc. were
reported by the ae memory test as being bad (every one). 

So instead of having 1.5 megs in my machine i have to settle for 768k until
I can figure out why those Toshiba chips dont work on the gsRam, or buy more...
