I was curious whether the memory limitation on the Sony VAIO Z505
machines was an actual hardware limitation or a marketing issue.  I just
tried adding a 256MB module to my machine.  The BIOS seemed to mostly
recognize it.
It did see 320MB of RAM, but had problems when testing all of it. 
Current (from
a couple of weeks ago) boots, but gives me:
	Too many holes in the physical address space, giving up

and comes up showing 64MB of RAM.  Is this something that can be worked
around, or have I run up against an actual hardware limit on the
machine?
