Watch out for the following interesting things:
Memory Controller Information
<snip>
        Supported Interleave: One-way Interleave
        Current Interleave: Four-way Interleave //what? you don't support that!
        Maximum Memory Module Size: 32 MB
        Maximum Total Memory Size: 64 MB //seems useless, I only need 640k!

Memory Module Information
<snip>
        Installed Size: 512 MB (Double-bank Connection)
        Enabled Size: 512 MB (Double-bank Connection) //but you only
support 64MB total!

In the words of Public Enemy, don't believe the hype.
