    2GB max according to the official specs. Nothing faster than a Socket P Pentium Dual-Core, either, according to official specs.

    Of course, the GL960 is known for usually taking more memory than specified in the official spec and running any Socket P processors up through the T9500 (800MHz FSB or less). Nonetheless, trying anything outside of the official spec is partially a crapshot, but there is a very good chance it will work.
