It was probably just a misprint in the listing for the PC. I looked at the Newegg listing and yeah, it did say 2GB max. However, the GeForce 6100/MCP 410 is more than capable of addressing 4GB of RAM. Maybe they didn't have 2GB sticks yet when it came out.

alot of places specify max upgrade is 2GB since its 2 slots. but if there is 3 in there already who knows lol.

Honestly if it was possible to find drivers for windows 7 for the entire machine or newer vista drivers id run windows 7 on it, It certainly runs great on 2 GB of ram in a P4 Laptop of mine
