Did you miss latest threads? The amount of memory is given in the firmware and 
simply a matter of how the available RAM is distributed. Since video buffers 
need most memory, there are 90K left.

And YES, you can increase the memory by soldering a second SD-Ram Chip onto 
the card.

And please, don't top-post. (Meaning: Quote like most others do, too). If you 
don't know what I mean compare this mail to your original mail and see the 
difference :-).
