Why wonder? Search Apple's Knowledge Base at
<http://search.info.apple.com/>. See
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=20434> for Power Mac
Configurations. According to this: Gigabit G4s can hold and use 2 GB.
Caveat: Although 2 GB can be physically installed, a maximum of 1.5 GB is
recognized by Mac OS 9. Mac OS X will see the entire 2 GB.
