   I seem to recall that we tried pushing hard on TI to up
   the memory capacity of the mX, but there's a hard physical
   limit of 12Mb in the on-board addressing.  To change this
   they'd have had to remask the big ASIC they have and they
   didn't fancy doing it.  At the time, I believe, they were
   so impressed with the performance of their TGC that they
   really thought that people would not want more physical
   memory (ha).

So how might I get to 12 MB? Swap chips on the board?
