Not to rain on anybody's parade, but according to Apple's documentation their memory controller's physically addressable memory limit is 16 GB. They would need to change the memory controller to exceed this limit, so you'll have to wait until the next version of the chipset at least.
On the other hand, going to 16 GB saves you half the money or lets you upgrade 2 dual 2 GHz G5s.

That probably also means that it won't recognize 4GB dimms either, just 2GB dimms.
BTW, does anybody notice it's next to impossible and heinously expensive to find 1GB DIMMs? It would cost me ~$700-800 for 2x1GB, but only ~$400-450 for 4x512MB.
