Actually, according to mactracker, it says the limit on the QS was 1.5gb. Oddly, the sawtooth, and gig ethernet models could do 2.0gb under OS X, or 1.5gb under OS 9. Then, starting with the cube, and continuing through the DA and QS series, the limit is 1.5gb. then the MDD brought back the 2gb ceiling. Unless the app is wrong. I wonder why they took it out...and I wonder if you dual boot 9 and X on those rigs if you can leave in the full 2 gigs and just have the last 512mb ignored under 9...

I noticed that my former Cube and this QS have only 3 RAM slots; I haven't had any MDDs, but I'm guessing they have 4 slots, each with a max. capacity of 512MB. That would explain the 1.5GB limit on the QS and Cube (and possibly others).
