What Apple hardware would be supportable under the higher memory restrictions?
On the 64-bit side, most Apple G5 machines, the IBM JS20 blades, and
the Fixstars Powerstation (all are ppc970 based). On the 32-bit side
(if an install tree is even going to be done at all for 32-bit),
possibly some Apple G4.
