Like any other P6-class CPU[1], the Pentium 3 can handle up to 64GB of
RAM via PAE. Certain chipsets may be more restrictive, but it's not a
function of the CPU. i810 and i815 are documented to be limited to
512MB, but the i820 and i840 were desktop chipsets with support for
more.
[1] Well, except some of the low-end Pentium Ms. I guess Celerons may be
missing it as well.
