I thought I would post this for anyone wanting to upgrade RAM in excess of the 4GB manufacturers recommendation.
I upgraded my RAM to 8GB using this kit:
Crucial CT2KIT51264BC1339
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DZ ... 00_details
You lose a bit of the 8GB due to BIOS not enabling IOMMU but 7.5 GB is quite enough for me.
The RAM is usable in WIndows 7 and Linux (64 bit required).
Also... the Samsung Spinpoint 1T drive works nicely in AO721 if you have a plethora of media to store.

It makes for a somewhat lopsided system with single core AMD K125 but I was able to get both RAM and hard drive for cheap.
Cheers,
Ed

Aperture beyond 4GB. Ignoring.
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM
