I have heard very different stories, I have heard that 4 Megs is a high
as you can expand a 1040, I have heard that 4.5 Megs is as High as you
can expand the 1040, and I have heard that 16 Megs is as high as you can
expand the 1040.

I heard the 4 Meg limit was due to the OS.

I heard the 16 Meg limit was only possible if you cut open (to make room
for the memory) the computer case, but that the limit was due to the
microprocessor architecture.

I didn't hear why there was a 4.5 Meg limit.

Well, which is it?

(thanks in advance)
