I suppose you could have a Cyberstorm with 128 on it, three updated FastlaneZ3 cards with 256 on each, and a DKB3128 card with another 128 on it.
I'd love to do that just for kicks on my A4000T but:

1) I don't know if 3 Fastlane cards could get on with each other.
2) All my Zorro slots would be used up because I already have a DKB3128 board and a Picasso IV.
3) Finding 3 of those updated Fastlane cards will be impossible. I bet there are very few members here who have even one of those, and if they do they won't sell it for less than £300

You can always add smallish amounts of RAM in conjunction with a SCSI controller or HD controller card, but if you are going for the biggest baddest heavy bopper memory monster you need a few DKB3128 boards or a few FastlaneZ3 boards (the updated ones)

"...Why the ¤%&£ didn't Phase5/DCE make the CS-PPC accept 128 MB SIMMs?..."

Exactly!!
Can this be sorted out/hacked?

2) Cinema4D
3) Any number of quick dump/temporary disk operations
