Ah.. the memory capacity.  It strikes me as odd that the max memory capacity of the G5 
top end is 8 GB.  Unless I'm completely misunderstanding, 64 bit addressing would imply 
2^61 or so memory capacity (taking into account 2^3 bits per Byte if one needs to), not 
just an incremental improvement of the G4 32-bit memory limitations.  I'm sure it's more 
complex than this, and some other limitation applies, but there seems to be the possibility 
of way more memory than a mere 4x improvement over the previous generation.

Does anyone else understand this better than I do?
