I thought I was the only PS/2 fan here :P

Depending on the model of your board, you could have a max of 6mb or 8mb.
To add more memory, you would need an expansion board. One of the better
boards I that I used to use in model 60 machines was made by Kingston and
took up to 4 72pin simms.

One of the best non IBM references I ever found for the PS/2 line is a
book called "Upgrading and Repairing PCs", written by Scott Mueller, and
published by QUE. The last edition that had the PS/2 info in it was the
4th edition. I never owned a hardcopy of the 4th edition, but I have an
electronic version of it that came on cdrom with the 10th edition. I
completely wore out my 2nd and 3rd editions of the book. (If anyone has a
4th edition in good shape that they don't want, I'd be more than willing
to pay shipping.)
