Other folks folks had reported similar results a while back, (Terry Kennedy?), but I thought I'd post this, to add another data point. The PC164 manual suggests that 512MB is the max. It wasn't clear to me this was a hard limit due to the the memory controller, or just the likely maximium that was tested/qualified, circa 1996-1997.
