No, it doesn't.
TP240X adopts 440MX chipset so it cannot go any
higher than 256MB. Because the system board already
has 64MB, putting a 256MB DIMM just causes access
conflict.

No, as I said, TP240X cannot go to 320MB.
It can go up to 256MB by either one of the two ways.
One is to put a 192MB DIMM. This Japanese company
sells such a special DIMM.

However, I don't think this is available in US. And
the price is quite high. So you need to buy it in Japan
and import to the US. This solution is very costly.
The other way is to simply remove the onboard 64MB RAM.
This guy removed the onboard RAM and put a 256MB DIMM
into his TP240Z.

I heard that this modification also worked in a TP240X.
I don't recommend either of these dubious modifications
unless you are reckless enough.
