As much as your motherboad can handle. Don't cram its easy to install RAM. check the stats on you MB.
Consult the motherboard documentation or website of the manufacturer to ensure that the RAM is compatible with the motherboard.
The reason for RAM not being intergrated on a motherboard is because theres different RAM sizes and how much RAM a motherboard can handle along with RAM speeds. My motherboard can handle up to 16gb RAM and that is equal to 4 4GB RAM cards and the speeds my motherboard can handle are 2000MHz.
The processor size or speed does not determine how much RAM your system needs. Generally speaking, the newer the system, the more RAM you can add. The amount of RAM slots on a motherboard and the motherboard's own subsystem (the BIOS) will determine how much RAM you can add to a particular motherboard.
It depends on what it came with and how much you've installed.
first take the ram out then power it on if you hear the beeps it is not the motherboard, it is either the ram or hard drive.
It should be compatible because the motherboard supports DDR3 ram and the Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance is DDR3!
The microprocessor determines how much RAM your computer can use
Go to Start, Control Panel and System. Under the General tab it will tell you how much RAM you have.
No, not usually. Check with your motherboard specifications to see what RAM is needed and the maximum RAM your motherboard can handle.
Yes, as long as the motherboard is not picky about the RAM, it should work fine, but the motherboard will throttle the RAM to PC2100 speed if that is the fastest it supports.
The only thing that affects the decision on RAM is a motherboard. Your motherboard can only support a certain type of RAM.
i also think you should have between 4 - 6gb which would run nice and smoothly, check eBay for cheap ram, and you might be able to pick up a cheap motherboard to suit your needs!
