AFAIK, there have been lots of ram configs in various PET models. It
was typical that you could use various sizes of ram chips, but if you
chose a small size you would not have enough sockets (or spaces for
sockets) to max out the full 32K. If you were unlucky you had to throw
out all your current ram chips and replace them with bigger ones. Much
like the current situation with SIMMs, really. On top of that, some
boards were filled with the bigger ram chips but the space for the
required additional sockets was made unusable, requiring you to buy a
new machine to get more memory.
So, if you are lucky, there is space for more RAM sockets. If you are
less lucky you have to replace all your ram chips. Finally you could
be out of luck entirely when you have such a mutilated board.
