Sorry for the long post. I'm looking to upgrade to 2 gigs of ram. Wondering if 4 of these would work

at the very bottom it sais something along the lines of up to 2 modules per system is supported? not sure what that means. And I'm not sure what CAS latency is.
<<<NOOB
Thanks for any help in advance
