The Tecra 8000 uses a "BX" chipset. The BX chipset cannot work with
high density memory, even on a desktop motherboard. You can use 256
megabyte modules, but the architecture of the module MUST be 16 chips of
16 megabytes each; if you use higher density chips (typically 8 chips of
32 megabytes each), the BX chipset will see only half of the memory
module. Well, I don't think that it's possible to make a laptop SO-DIMM
with 16 chips, just due to physical size constraints.
