Theoretically, I suppose, it could. It depends on what the board 
chipset will do. I've seen some PC's (x86) where you can drop in larger 
than recommended RAM modules and it'll work, but it won't recognize the 
extra RAM.  Since I've never actually tried that on a PowerPC machine, 
I'm just guessing.

Interesting.  My daughter has a Wallstreet G3/266 with 192MB in it 
running Jaguar.  Did yours recognize the whole 512 MB?

I suspect it won't happen due to the limited market for PC133 RAM 
anymore.  It's gotten to the point where you can justify buying a new 
Wintel piece of junk (if you're a Wintel user) before upgrading the RAM 
in it.
