IBM Aptiva E56 Ram Install

Comment:
I am just wondering if it is possible for me to add any more Ram to this computer. It is an older IBM Aptiva E56 purchased in 1998. I found all of the specs and here they are:
Machine Type/Model Number 2137-E56/E5C Case style Mini-Tower Processor Speed AMD K6 266MHz System board chipset V58XA-2 System board form factor ATX Slots (ISA/PCI/Shared) 3/2/1 Bays (Total/Open) 5/2 Ports (Serial/Parallel/USB)1/1/2 Memory (type) 66MHz SDRAM DIMM Standard/Maximum 48MB/256MB Total Sockets/Open Sockets 2 DIMM/ 0 DIMM L2 Cache (Standard/Maximum) 256KB/256KB Open Sockets none

Your system maxes out at 256mb. See two suppliers below. IBM always seemed to have special requirements (like gold pins) for their memory but I had two 2137-E26s and never had a problem with generic memory.
