The maximum ram capacity of a machine is determined by the addressing range it has, so if your machine only supports a maximum of xxMb ram, then thats the limit :(
So the question then is whats the addressing range of any given mac model, sadly apples own specs are not up to date. In many cases the simm's didn't exist at the models release date. Your not wrong though, everything has a limit.
Jeff posted this last week:
I have installed 128 + 4 MB of RAM in the Q605/LC/P475/6. I used a pair of Single Bank 64 MB SIMMs in a SIMMverter which is a card that converts one SIMM slot into two. Grand total of 132 MB of usable RAM. Of course, I couldn't close the case with the SIMMverter card installed.
Frankly, I have my doubts about more than the apple spec of 32mb in a 475 but there you go, you dont know until you try while 64mb seems easy.
A better question is what mac is being worked on?
