Having a closer look to the boards show that I'm currently using 2 
Micron MT47H256M8HG-3 with 2GBit each yielding a total of 512MByte 
DDR-II memory .... this is sad :-(
Regarding to part list there should have been 1GBit Elpida chips on it.


I've seen things like this in mpc8349emds code :

#if (CFG_DDR_SIZE != 256)
#warning Currenly any ddr size other than 256 is not supported
#endif

Is this reasonable ? Why ?

I don't want to see it but to understand where it comes from.
