What's the maximum RAM a single slot can take in my Sony Vaio?

I have a Sony VAIO laptop (VGN-SZ1HP/B) that unfortunately has only one memory slot working (see my previous problem here), and it's very annoying as I'm limited to 1GB of RAM. According to Crucial, my machine has a maximum capability of 2GB (2x 1GB), but obviously I'm stuck with 1GB... as only one slot is working.

"According to your Crucial link your laptop has an Intel 945PM chipset, which Intel lists as supporting up to 4GB of RAM. At work we have Intel 945 laptops (they may be a different revision of the 945 though) that handle 2x 2GB sticks of RAM fine.

So I'd say there's a good chance it will work, but of course no guarantees."
