How much RAM can you add to your computer?

Answer 1

Easily....However you must be certain that you are installing the correct type of RAM for your system. There is DDR - DDR2 - low density - high density. Check to be sure what kind you have before you buy more

Answer 2

First of all, the PC RAM limit is affected by the motherboard and its chipset. Modern chipsets usually offer up to 16GB aligned into 4 slots.

The other limitation is the operating system. If it is 32bit, there is theoretically 4GB or memory which can be used. However this amount can never be reached, because it contains all the system memory including BIOS, graphics memory, addresses etc. At the end of the day there is about 3GB of RAM really available for your system.

If the OS is 64bit, there is no memory limitation (it is so high that you don't have to think about it). In this case motherboard and your cash are the only limits.

Answer 3

Depending on your motherboard and operating system, yes. RAM is in the form of "sticks" on the motherboard.

If your motherboard has open slots for extra RAM, expanding it is as simple as dropping an another stick of the correct type (look at the other stick to tell what type you need). If all the slots are already full, you will need to remove one and replace it with a larger size stick. When picking out RAM, look at the sticks that are already in your computer. There should be a paper label on one side that tells the type, size and speed. Look for something like PC2-6400 or PC3-12800 etc. This tells you the type and speed of the memory. If it's PC2, you need DDR2 RAM of the same speed. PC3 means you need DDR3 RAM.

Be careful when inspecting your RAM or you can damage it. Only hold it by the edges. Unplug the computer and touch a metal part of your computer case before you take out the RAM.

Note that if you have a 32-bit OS like Windows XP, then adding more than 4GB or RAM is futile. 64-bit systems like Vista-64 or Windows 7 can have far more RAM than your computer can hold.

Sure, if you want. The computer won't operate without it, though.
