Sometimes, the technical writers for manuals/specs of computer components are not very technical people at all. You may try to add more memory and hope the documentation was wrong. If the board was "wired" with only 32 memory address lines however then no, its not possible for the system to access more than 4GB of memory (RAM)

Depends on a couple of things, if the mobo chipset supports more DRAM, if the CPU (or onboard MC 9memory controller with older mobos like socket 775) can handle more, and if those conditions are met if the BIOS has been programmed (updated) to accept more than the original specs call for. It's seen occasionally but not often, i.e. some 1366 mobos can actually read and utilize 8GB sticks though the original mobo specs was to 4GB for sticks

that's DDR2, so quite old. was anyone even thinking of more than 4G back then? what was the largest stick manufactured using DDR2?
