I have a pc7300 with 1/2 Meg motherboard.  When I ordered it, I asked for
1 meg, so they sent me an additional 1/2 meg card.  This works fine.  
Later, I got a combo RAM/EIA board, with another 1/2 meg.  I installed this
and the system DOES see 1 1/2 meg total.  Perhaps there is something
strange about the combo board as compared to a regular RAM board...

On the other hand, perhaps there is some upper limit on the amount of RAM
on expansion boards.
