Nope.

Well, it can only be mapped into the upper 32K, not the full 64K address
space (still be good enough for a lot of stuff).  Depends whether you
were thinking about general programs using it, or getting the BASIC
system to use external memory instead of contended system RAM.  The
display will always be in system RAM, so you'd have to write to it in
the border area to escape as much contention as possible!

Not many people have external RAM though, so I can't imagine any
existing software would/could rely on it for the extra speed.  It'd
certainly screw up fancy demo timings too!
