The SC has socketed memory to allow for possible future development.  With
present firmware/software, however, it has no way of using more memory.  I'm
not familiar with details of the hardware design, so I'm not sure what would
happen with 1 Meg parts, but I am sure that there would be no enhancement.

The NTX is capable of using more memory than it is shipped with; I'm not
sure how you go about it.
