It is recommendation. As I know, slot 0 will work with 512M (however 
this had never been a problem. Slot 1 works with 1G-4G (didn't test 
greater capacities) however, my recommendation is SanDisk Extreme III.
I have tried some kingstone, it worked but was extremally slow.
I suppose that system driver has some constrains and if they are not 
met, it switches to some default (very, very slow) mode.

Marcin
