Dear Builders,

   I have a 75mhz Pentium system, currently with 40MB of RAM
(two 4MB SIMMs and to 16 MB SIMMs). I'd like to ditch the
4MB SIMMs and add two 32MB SIMMs, however I've been told that
Windows 95 will only recognize up to 64MB and not use anything
over that. I vaguely recall this discussion once on PCBUILD
and the conclusion was that while the Pentium's L2 cache will
only handle the first 64MB of memory, any additional memory over
that would still be available to Windows 95 applications. Before I
go buy more memory could someone please set me straight on
this issue. Thanks in advance for the help.
