No. No. There's no limitation, at least to 80 MB. Remember that
ftp.cdrom.com has 512 MB of RAM.

Just look at the LINT file (/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT) for the option
that enables support for the memory, then recompile your kernel.

For more information read the handbook:
	/usr/share/doc/handbook/hadbook_toc.html

Hope this helps
