I'll post it on gentoo-doc and see what they say.

Mine maxes out at 16Gbs.  I have a single 4Gb stick in it right now.  I 
plan to add a stick every few months until I get it full.  Then I will 
have plenty of room to put portage on the ramdisk like you.  It should 
be pretty fast then.  I rarely use more than 1Gb tho.  Even then, I have 
a lot of images open in Gimp or something to use that much.

Now that my rig is fixed, I'm going to take a nap.  I'm beat.
