[comp.sys.ibm.pc] ram disk

Does anyone know of a way to use dram on a expansion card
as a ram disk when the mother board memory is not fully populated?
The reason I wish to do this is that I currently have an AT clone
(PC Brands) with 1 meg of 256K chips. I need to upgrade to 2 meg`s 
to run smalltalk. This requires using 1 meg chips which will only fill
1/2 the space available on the mother board and leaves me with 1meg of
256K 100ns drams. I would like to use this dram as a ram disk to improve
the performance of loading the smalltalk image file and MS-word. Any
suggestion would be welcome.
