On the other hand; on compaq deskpro 2000s with 48, 64, of 128mb of memory
we always have had to use the append statement to get anything more than
14mb (yecch) ouf of them.  Running SuSE 5.0 through 5.2 on them BTW. On my
system that is a build your own, I have 64mb.  No problems here.  The
deskpro line includes the P133, P166 classic, and the P166mmx systems.  I
have not tried it on our new standard desktop yet which is the Deskpro EN.
But why should compaq spoil a perfectly good "append" now? :)
