"In the next couple of weeks I'll have ice cream for dessert. Will my taste buds identify chocolate?" You can't expect anyone to give an unequivocal answer to that question or yours now can you? Depending on what motherboard, what processor(s), what kernel, what kind of RAM; the answer is probably yes. However; if you add enough memory to exceed the (roughly) 850 MB "usable" limit with a single processor system, and a stock kernel, you won't be able to use it all. Any amount of memory that requires having hi-mem (above that limit) compiled into the kernel will actually be slower than an identical system with slightly less memory. Long and short answer is yes unless you use boot flags (lilo append=* line) to specify how much memory you're "supposed to have."
