Is there a limit to how much RAM??

Hello squibbler, it appears that you have not posted on the forums for several weeks. Why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a debate with other members in any one of the forums?
Well.....ok then!

I'm thinking about adding some RAM to my Sony Vaio VGN-FS550 laptop. Currently both slots are occupied with 256Mb modules of PC2700 DDR SDRAM (SODIMMS). I was thinking of popping in a couple of 1Gb modules but the Sony manual and website say the maximum the system can take is 1Gb via 2 x 512Mb mods.

Is that right? Will it grind to a halt if I stick 2 gigs in there?

Sorry if this is a lame question but I'm a bit of a computer duffer these days

Oh and will 2Gb make a huge difference from 1Gb? The system comprises a 1.6 Centrino, 512Mb Ram, 128Mb Integrated graphics (Intel 910/915 chipset), 80gb hard drive, running on Win XP. I'm just looking for a bit of extra poke when burning DVDs, home vids etc.

Cheers
