I have a 1.25 DP MDD and the other day I was reading the Green Guide. I was looking at some hardware prices in an advertisement I saw next to an article and it had 1024mb DDR RAM in a single chip. Will we be able to use these in our computers? I hope so imagine 4GB or RAM, does anyone know anything about this?
Got a tip for us?

i just did a search for 1GB DDR RAM, read some stuff about it that related to PC's... i haven't heard annything about it working on Macs though.
hope someone can tell us more about this... i'm interested to know now.

Re: 1024mb DDR in a single chip
According to the specs for the MDD systems, you can use 1 GB modules as well as smaller modules, but using larger modules won't get you past the 2 GB limit.
The MDD systems are limited to 2 GB of RAM.

yeah i'd imagine you'd be able to use the chips, but the OS won't address above 2GB. I remember plugging 2GB in when the max was 1.5GB and the finder took up 700MB!!!
Scanned images can be, to put it mildly, HUGE. 1.5 gigs of RAM is a good amount, to be sure, but it is not necessarily a superfluous amount by ANY stretch.
You need to check the specs for each Mac as to what the actual limits on memory are and if they support the 1 GB DDR dimms.
