Yea 32Mb, but then who needs more that 640k?

It is possible to add more memory, but the procedure is way to hairy for
even me to attempt and I have transplanted memory on graphics cards
before. Its just too small to work on with out unsoldering everything
else around the memory chips (by mistake), may be if you have the
correct hot air gun adaptors for that exact chip footprint you could do it.
