Thus, on systems configured with 16 MByte DSIMMS, the maximum size of a
physically contiguous block of DRAM is 16 MByte. However, you can reserve
multiple blocks of SXDRAM on such systems. In order to be able to configure a
single block of SXDRAM greater than 16 MByte, the system must be configured with
64 MByte DSIMMs.
