the issue is how many rows/banks the chipset supports; 
size a function of this (and the prevailing dram density).

VIA's KT266 spec states 6/8-row support for 3/4G (unregistered/registered),
but that's assuming 512Mb density, which doesn't seem to be shipping.
KT133a has a similar spec (6, no support for registered), but assumes
256Mb, and therefore a limit of 1.5GB.  note that KT266 also does ECC.
AMD761 seems to support 4G with double-sided, registered, x4 256 Mb chips.
