Ah, that explains it. I wasn't paying enough attention. I just set the Memory control panel back to the default settings.

So I wonder why anyone would ever WANT to turn 32-bit addressing off...

That was because 32-bit addressing was turned off. With 32-bit addressing
turned on, the system runs in 24-bit mode, and it means that you will not be
able to address more than 8 Mb of RAM. MacOS sees all the RAM, but takes
away all the memory over the 8 Mb limit, and marks it as being used by the
system. The solution to this is to re-enable 32-bit addressing in the Memory
control panel.

Hi all,

I just installed some new RAM in my LC 520 running 7.5.5. Went from 8
to 32 MB RAM. But the system went from using 2+MB to using 30+MB!!!! I
was going crazy till I reset the Memory control panel to defaults and
rebooted. Turned out the RAM cache had somehow gotten set too low. So
now you know what to do if you ever see this phenomenon. I really
thought I was losing my marbles.
