I won't poke fun of you. You didn't know any different. Glad we could teach you something new.

So then you could solder four more ram slots and have 8 ram modules?

I think this was attempted and the results were that it did not work.

I'm pretty sure it is a technical limitation with the single processor model.

My SP 1.8 has 8 slots

The 1.8Ghz single with 8 memory slots has a different memory controller design that is more similar with the late-2005 G5's than the earlier G5's.
