I think there's plenty of room in the brain for new information. The trick is putting it in there in an orderly way so that you can actually find it again, and cross-reference it to other stuff you know.
Me, I have a weird memory. It takes me forever to match up people's names and faces, and when learning something like dance moves it takes me three times as long as average.
On the other hand, I find it easy to remember a 19-digit banking card number, or the spelling of some big-ass medical word, or the license code for Windows NT 4.0 (which I haven't installed in at least 15 years).
