How much RAM can I have?

Ok, this is little bit confusing.
I have Asus A6T laptop and the website tells me this:

DDR2 533/667MHz SDRAM, 2x SO-DIMM socket expandable to 2GB
(http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=5& … odelmenu=2)

Could somebody please explain what this really means?
Can I have one 2GB memory in both sockets and have total of 4GB
or can I only have 1GB memories and total of 2GB?

And why can't I use 4GB memories? Or can I? Why/Why not?

I think this is a total of 2GB you can use. Why? Most probably the chipset doesn't support more.

You could always send Asus support an e-mail asking for clarification.

It will only support a pair of 1GB sticks. Total 2GB.
