I use to have a combo board with 1 meg on it and 512 ram board
both installed, and all the memory was recognized (512 on motherboard
+ 512 + 1 meg = 2 meg total).  I eventually fully populated the
combo board with 1.5 meg.  At that point the PC still only
recognized 2 meg even with my 512 ram board, so I gave the ram board
to someone else.

I don't pretend to understand the memory expansion, but that was
my experience with it.
