Yes, this is very much true. There are places that will do this upgrade in 
memory. There is also a text file in Milton-FTP site describing the
procedure on how to add more memory to the 1764 for those do-it-yourselvers.
It is located in subdirectory: "public/download/c64/info-ideas-projects".

Definately. There are configuration files for GEOS that will that full
advantage of larger memory size, like creating a 1581 ramdrive and shawdow
drives. Also there are applications like GeoWizards that requires the
larger memory size. With GeoWizards, you can jump back and forth from
one application to another and back without closing it.

Do it yourself (see above). Or mail it to a company that do this expansion.

It is still fully compatible.
