How is that?  It is FP-DRAM, do some of those controllers do the
autosizing in hardware?  It has 2 SODIMMs.  I seem to remember now that
72pin SIMMs had size jumpers.

I'd love to.  It may not be in my budget right now.

BUT, who makes them?  I will look around at stores;  I'd prefer to have
one apart first, but I might settle for and lspci on one in a store. 
LinuxBIOS support is one criterion, ATI or other open-source DRI
supported 3d graphics is another.
