True, all G4 iMacs have 'big disk' support - I upgraded my 1st gen 17"
iLamp (OS 9 bootable) with a 500 GB HD and all of the HD space is
available.

The early 2001 Quicksilvers with the limit
were the 733, 867, and 2x800 MHz models.

The later 2002 Quicksilvers without the limit
are the 800, and 933 MHz, and the 2x1 GHz models
