All of this is not relevant.

Not yet supported, sorry.

Not yet supported, but this is usually easy to do.

This is good. As it's in a socket you can take it out and put a
backup-chip in there...

Depends on where the limitation comes from. If the proprietary BIOS
simply doesn't support more RAM, then maybe.
If your northbridge/chipset doesn't support more RAM (didn't check),
then you're out of luck -- no BIOS will help you in that case.

Yeah, well :) All LinuxBIOS problems usually boil down to:
* Too few developers
* Not enough time per day
* Missing data sheets
(or combinations thereof)
