I'm curious if we want to allow APEX to automatically detect more memory on startup. The code in APEX that reconfigures the memory controller and then scans memory to determine the amount of memory installed on the slug appears to be working properly in 64MiB and 128MiB slugs. I'm working through testing the upgrade for APEX right now.
The advantage of this is that people installing Debian would then be able to run without a swap partition if they have already upgraded the system memory. We can always change the environment once the system is installed. This is merely a convenience feature that will make for a better install experience for users who are enhancing their slugs. The only risk that I can see is if there is a memory configuration that this code doesn't properly detect. I've never tested a 4-chip memory configuration myself, but I'm told by others that the existing code *does* detect the second bank of memory chips.
