In the case of the Pismo (which I have), the listed max is half of the 
true max. And I think it's for the reason you mentioned above. But some 
clever manufactures figured out how to make lower profile chips that 
could double the amount of RAM. So my Pismo has 1GB of RAM, despite 
Apple's listed 512MB.

Of course, I have no idea if this would be the case with the newer 
PowerBooks.
