The Cube's memory controller is a 32-bit controller, which only lets you fit
512 MB worth of RAM on a board. Any 1 GB DIMMs are 64-bit and not
addressable by the memory controller. Depending on the architecture of the
DIMM, you might be able to address half of the 1 GB, but the point is moot -
I don't think anyone makes 1 GB 168-pin SDRAM, because no one makes a 64-bit
SDRAM controller.

Hope this helps,
