Note that the hardware is using the address *space*, not the actual
RAM itself. If you have a greater amount of RAM, the rest of the RAM
goes unused because there is no address space to map it to.

Dang. So I can't use it at all for anything.

You could make a lamp out of it. Or a planter.

Hahah. No thanks! Only if it dies and I can't RMA it. I still want to
use it in the future. :P
