Not really. In the case of the Integral, the 512K oartd has 16 RAM chips 
and 16 empty spaces. I had to add the extra RAMs, but not remove 
anything. 

I would have thought the 5150 upgrade involved removing the existing RAMs 
nad rpelacing them with larger-capacity chips, more like what I did to 
my HP9816.
