Well, my Blizzard 060 can access 128MB in the main slot, so I'd imagine all
Blizzards can. The 030 chip is capable of it.

Well, with 64 bits to play with, you're talking verrrry big :) 18.4 EB
(Exa-bytes, 10^18 bytes) is my working of it... Even Windows won't take that much in 10 years' time :)
I don't know about the partitions though, I've heard they're limited to 2GB,
but I'm using 4GB partitions here no problem, and I am utilising the full
amount of space too... I do keep weekly backups just in case though! I think
it would be wise to keep SYS: less than 2GB though, because this is accessed
before the 64-bit filesystem is put in place by setpatch. I'd say it is
definitely worth the upgrade, there's stuff in there you'll begin to feel
lost without...

Rob
