With all due respect Andreas, if you are going to run linux on your computer
you need to be a little more resoursefull.  You have the computer in hand,
you have the manual, you have the Sony web site.

And GOOGLE is your friend.  I keyed in "PCG-R600hfpd" specification and came 
up with
http://www.vaio.sony-europe.com/itn/products/notebooks/models/r600hfpd/_bilder/r600hfp.pdf
where they clearly state it is SDRAM SODIMM PC133  and they imply that 384 is 
the max (but I doubt that )....
