No, 768MB is the maximum on chrp (B50), the newer PowerMacs can handle
only that 703M. I have no reports about oldworlds.
one would think that this is a linux limitation then? Apple's store sells
G4s with 1.5G, so one would hope that at least macos could handle it. For
some reason I doubt it can, but why would they sell machines with that much
memory?

IIRC, this is not going to be fixed until MacOS X.

Current Apple G4 hardware can handle 2 GB (four 512MB DIMMs). 1.5 is
a MacOS limitation (and there's a further limitation in MacOS of
approx. 1GB per process or something like that).
