It would need to be a very old system not to be able to take more RAM than that. It is more the motherboard than the CPU that dictates RAM amount. Go here and punch your motherboard\system in, if it is there it will tell you maximum amount.

The make and model numbrt is
Motherboard Name Gigabyte GA-6WMM7

What i have researched so far is that i can upgrade to 512 i think this is right.
It be about 60 euro for the ram its only a learning exercise for me but i think its possible.I look more into it.
All hints of help are welcome.
My aim is to upgrade the ram add a external hard drive and put in a lightscribe dvd writer.If i can do this to this bucket of junk i be happy.

www.crucial.com is a good site for checking such a question. As jodav said, 512MB is your max. Here's the details.
