Waht is a '5150 XT'? The 5150 is the PC, an XT is a 5160.

Was there such a thing? I thought all XT motherboards used the 64K DRAM 
chips. The 'stnadard' version has 64K-256K on board, there's a well known 
mod to put 256K chips in the first 2 bnaks (giving 256K-640K on the 
mainboard), IBM later sold boards like that.

Actually, come to think of it, I think the address decoder PROM on the XT 
motehrboard would support 4816 (16K bit, 5V only) DRAM chops. But AFAIK 
no such boards existed.
