Apple says the limit is 1.5Gb, I think it's an OS restriction. But my G4
sawtooth running 10.2.3 once had 3*512 plus a 128, and they all showed up in
'about this mac'. But I don't know if you could actually use it all.

There is a problem with some 512 dimm chips which have the wrong eprom as
far as apple are concerned - and they only show as 256.
