I have a dual G5 SMP rackmount with 2 GB RAM. At the moment, it's compiling Crafty's enormous.pgn game file into an opening book. The Apple dual PowerPC G5 desktop has eight DIMM slots, each which can take a 1 GB DIMM. Unofficially, each can take a 2 GB DIMM, but I don't know if this has been tested. The G5 itself interfaces the lower 42 bits of the address bus, so it is limited to accessing only 4 TB of physical storage. That would require 2,048 DIMM slots, so that limit is not a problem. Well, not for now.
