    It only has one ram slot total and even if it could register more than the 2gb of ram already installed in it, there aren't any 2gb+ sticks for it.

    it won't make a difference if you get the fastest notebook ram available, the FSB is 533MHz, and the fastest RAM you get will always default back to the 533 speed so it would be pointless to get anything faster. There is only one slot, no extra slots. If you already have 2GB, then its a single stick. Sony states the max amount the TZ supports is 2GB, so you're at the limit.

    Yup after looking around apparently the one and only slot can only take 1 Gb stick max.

    Very good point indeed ;)
