Yes.  I was originally in contact with a company (Wegener Media) about 
buying an internal modem for it, and they had 512 MB RAM kits.  I 
pointed out the spec to the owner, whom I happened to be speaking to 
when I called.  He explained the situation to me.  I had previously 
assumed that the chipset or some other component would not allow such a 
thing.  I had ran into this on Dell systems where only a certain amount 
was recognized.  I indeed had 512 in the WallStreet though.  It was a 
12" screen, 266 MHz model, and I also swapped out a 14" screen for the 
12", even though it only ran at thousands of colors it made more OS X 
usable.  That was an exciting day!
