Joe,
> How many slots are in a qube ?
The Qube 2 has two slots.
> What kind of ram does it take ?
The Qube 2 takes 72-pin EDO Non-parity @ 3.3 volts. Note that this is a
pretty uncommon type of RAM. You can find these chips here:

I'm sure there are other places, too.
> What is its limit ?
Well, I believe I've seen 256MB chips for the Qube 2, so I guess that
makes the limit 512MB. Can someone confirm that the Qube can actually
address that much memory? I would think that it wouldn't be a problem,
but I know some PC mobos that crap out after 768MB or something...
Don't forget: it's just a 250MHz processor. It's not like having several
gig or memory is going to turn it into something it's not ;)
