mystitch,
Unfortunately, 4 gigs of memory is the most the system can handle. Below are the memory specs.
Type 400- and 533-MHz DDR2 unbuffered SDRAM
Memory connectors four
Memory capacities 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB, non-ECC
Minimum memory 256 MB
Maximum memory 4 GB
NOTE: See "Addressing Memory With 4-GB Configurations" on
page 73 to verify the amount of memory available to the operating
system.
BIOS address F0000h
Thank You,
