[G4] Dual 867 RAM question...

[Steve Adams]

Your Crucial link says 2048 MB is max. Where do you read it can  
support more???

The reason your computer can only support 2 Gig of memory is because  
that is the maximum memory/address lines going into the processor.  
That is why the G5 processor went to 64 bits - more address lines =  
more memory that it can address.
