Hi,

I am going to receive a 2003 model MDD in the mail soon, and I was wondering about memory capacity.

Since there exists 1 GB DDR RAM modules which are of the correct speed so that they'd be compatible, why couldn't one use them to their full capacity in the MDD?

For some reason, the maximum is listed as only being 2 GB (with each of the four slots filled with a 512 MB module). Is this due to an arbitrary software/firmware limitation which could be circumvented, or is the hardware truly incapable of handling that much memory?

Has anybody tried this? What were your results?

Thank you,

c
