The bios must be updated, the CPU must support EMT64, and the OS must be 64 bit to support 8 gigs.
AND THEN the ram must be Low density INTEL Chip-set compatible ram.

The density of a memory module is basically determined by the DRAM chips that make up the memory module. For example a 1GB DDR2 module like the one in your system can be made up of 4x 2 Gb (gigabit) chips or 16x 512Mb (megabit) chips. The fewer chips on the module, the higher the density. This is because the individual DRAM chips have a higher density to make up the full megabyte value of the actual memory module.
AMD or NVIDIA chipset systems will accept either type without any issues. Intel chipsets have issues and need lower density 16/32 chip versions of the 1GB modules.
I think the chipset in the 520/620 is limited to 4 Gigs max.
