8100 HPV PDS Graphics Card VRAM

I’m guessing the answer is going to be no since I haven’t even seen VRAM modules large enough to test this, but does anyone know if the 8100 version of the High Performance Video card (820-0509-A) can accept VRAM to take it beyond 4MB?

Would an 8100 HPV filled with VRAM fit a 6100 if a Sonnet PDS G3 upgrade is used as a right angle adapter?

I picked up a 6150 server and it looks good sitting under a big 21” CRT.
 
I have a 6100 with the "passthrough" G3 PDS accelerator and an HPV from a 7100 connected to that. The HPV has the extra VRAM chips and fits just fine! It's an awesome machine, the ultimate "family pizza" 😆

I think the 8100 HPV is exactly the same dimensions, only difference is the VRAM (I no longer have one to verify, unfortunately)
