Up until mid-2007 no-one expected memory sticks to exceed 4GB and so a maximum of 4GB was recognised on all computers.

You may find an updated driver which will allow more than 4GB to be recognised but I can only find one for XP and that is for Vaio Notebooks - Memory Stick Driver Ver 2.0.0.16 for the SZ3 series Vaios here: -

I doubt that this will work for your RS and you may have to limit yourself to 4GB or search for a suitable driver - or use an external card reader.
