I have 1.5 GB in a G4 450 MP (Gigabit). From a few AppleCare Docs: Although
2 GB can be installed, a maximum of 1.5 GB can be addressed through the
Finder in the Mac OS.

and

Mac OS 9 makes use of up to 1.5 GB of RAM. To make use of more than 1.5 GB
RAM, use Mac OS X. <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86191>
