True, but this was a BIOS limitation lifted in later BIOS revisions.  
When that spec was written the largest available SODIMM modules were 128MB.

The chipset limit is 1GB, as can be seen here:

The 600E is very picky about memory, so it is no surprise to me that you 
were not able to get 2x256MB recognized on the first try.  Rest assured 
that with the right 256MB modules you can indeed get 544MB total in a 600E.
