Dimension 8300 - what is the maximum memory???

I'm getting a dimension 8300 but am getting conflicting advice on the memory capacity. Most of the website states a max. of 2GB but the technical specifications in the on-line user manual clearly states a max. of 4GB (i.e. 1Gb on each of the 4 sockets). Someone told me this is a misprint, another one said it isn't? What really is the memory capacity??Help!

1GB memory sticks are not yet available, so while the system will allow 4GB maximum, the practical limitation is 2GB.

In the future, please post on only one forum and wait for an answer.  Posting on multiple forums just wastes the time of the volunteers that work these boards to help you.

Thanks.
