Subject: 768k XT?

Hopefully someone knows, I have a Samsung XT clone that has 3 banks of
256k chips, so that would mean a total of 768k or memory. The BIOS memory
check reports 640k, so I'm wondering if there really is 768k available
somehow, or if it was just cheaper to use 256k chips and leave a few k
unused. Has anyone ever run into this before? Is anyone familar with any
other boards that allowed the use of 256k parts in place of the 64k chips
in order to add some upper memory? Does anyone have any DOS utilities or
ELKS utilities that would test for upper RAM even though the BIOS says
it's not there? Thanks.
Dan
