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.
