sga_max_size vs. sga_target

 I have a 10.2.0.4 database that I wanted to utilize ASMM so I went and set sga_target to 512M. The sga_max_size is already set to 548M. When I tried to set the sga_target, I received the following message in the alert log:

Low value specified for sga_target, setting sga_target to 552M

My question is: How does oracle set my sga_target higher than my sga_max_size, and what problems could I encounter if I leave it this way?

Howdy, Stranger!
