Fortunately, the memory isn't on the ISA bus, so that's not a problem.
However, the BIOS call that tells you how much memory is in the system
uses a 16-bit return register, limiting you to 65536 Kb.

Memory-mapped peripherals on the ISA bus are limited to the 16M
address space.  VESA local-bus vga cards are not.
