Ok, there is NO theoretical limit to the ammount of memory on the GS.
TerraBytes and multi-mega-TerraBytes can be installed in a GS when
multi-mega-TerraByte RAM chips become available. however anything about 16Meg
is a RAM disk, 8MEg of that is ROM and 4Meg of the remaining is not DMA
compatible. 

happy?
