[G4] Dual 867 RAM question...

[Chris Loehr]

 My mistake, read the email wrong.  Thought he just wanted to run 2gb only. 
That's what I get when I read to fast.
 
A lot of times maximum ram limitations is a product of what is in the bios. 
 So Apple may have it locked out.

Not sure how you arrived at that conclusion. When I went through the 
Proper search by selecting this model from the various menus, it 
States very clearly: 
 
We recommend a minimum memory total of at least 512MB. And since your 
Apple Power Mac G4 (Dual 867MHz DDR) supports up to 2048MB of memory, 
You may want to install even more, especially if you work with 
Several programs at a time or use memory-intensive software, such as 
Image-editing software. 
(Keep in mind that sometimes BIOS updates and other hardware 
Configurations can alter memory recommendations.) 
 
What you may have found is that the machine will support the 1 Gb RAM 
Sticks, but only 512 Mb will be recognized as often happens when 
Using unsupported RAM.
