The free physical is usually limited by the EMM or HIMEM provider to 64Mb,
so beware that stuffing extra memory into the box may not give you much more
real memory to work with.  The distributed CWSDPMI does support 128Mb of 
virtual memory - but this can be increased with a recompile.  (I have given
out custom distributions with sizes of up to 1Gb virtual support.)
