Well, limitations of the largest RAM available at the time of release of
the machine and its maximum possible addressable RAM are possibly 2
different kinds of limitations. The latter being the only real measurement.

I haven't heard of anyone attempting to have more than 1GB RAM in a
Titanium though, so that may be its maximum addressable amount. Anyone
know for sure or know of other limitations affecting this amount?

I think the G5 have 8GB maximum, but in theory a 64bit system can address
hundreds of thousands.
