No, certainly not. 256MB - the board only has space for two x16 DDR3 chips, and at design time 1GBit was about the biggest that could be reasonably obtained. It is also using a Zynq chip for management and the next firmware spin is likely to throw away 50% of that space to enable Xilinx's narrow ECC scheme on the ram. The Linux environment requires only about 40M of ram for runtime, as it was designed for systems with only 64M of ram, so even the 128M is overkill.
