The NB505 netbook (I presume this is the one you mean) uses the Intel N455 CPU and the NM10 chipset. It appears from here that the CPU can't handle more than 2GB RAM. This will be by design, in order to limit the encroachment of netbooks into the normal notebook sector.

Some programs might report a slightly larger number than 2GB because 2GB is actually 2048MB.
