DDR Memory Question. Restrictions on size

[jakelovatto]

I have an old computer with just 256mb DDR. How is it possible to find out the slot size limit on the motherboard.

Thanks

you need to know the motherboard chipset, and model number

Chipset
VIA® KT400 chipset with DDR 400 support

Memory information on chipset
Memory Type DDR200/266/333 SDRAM
Max. Memory 4.0GB
PC3200 Max. to 2 banks only; PC2700 Max. to 4 banks only

Does this limit the slot size to 1.0 gig?

There might be BIOS updates so it'll recognise bigger sticks.
