Pretty hard to guess without specs.
T2300 Core Duo ?
945GM chipset ?
You might be able to verify those, using CPU-Z program
from cpuid.com .
This picture, is a page out of the 945GM datasheet (Intel)

It appears to be limited to 2x2GB, assuming there
actually are two SODIMM sockets in the machine.
Another physical limitation, is 945GM has only
32 bits of address on the FSB bus. Which is another
way to prevent more than 4GB from being used.
The processor has 36 bit addressing, but the chipset
is only 32 bit.

There are still risks with this upgrade, in that you
should be using Google to find examples of A100 owners
with 4GB installed. The type of SODIMM I would expect
to work, would look like this (16 chips total, double sided).
Crucial is careful to hide their composition info, so
we can't verify it via the Crucial site.

Some BIOS have a problem with the higher density modules,
in that nobody "tuned" the memory parameters in the BIOS
for them. I have an Asrock motherboard, where the hardware
takes a 2GB DDR2 DIMM, but the BIOS is only tuned for
1GB DDR2. And the 2GB DDR2, when installed, makes errors.
Therefore, I had to remove the 2GB DIMMs and not use them.
So there is some risk involved, and you should find
evidence at least one person got it to work correctly.

When I checked the Kingston (valueram.com) site, the 2GB
DIMM specified looks like this.

Newegg has pictures of both sides of that module, and it
is a 16 chip module. So I think this is the kind of
module you'd be looking for.

Crucial sells DDR2-667 CL=5 (CL = CAS Latency) in 2x2GB kit.
So now all you have to do, is find an article about A100
with 4GB total installed, where the user knows how to
test, and the unit is stable.
