dear friend, I think you are confused with 2GB hard disc space and 2GB RAM...
It should be as large is your RAM amount. If you have 2Gb of RAM the paging file has to be about 2GB too.
You can install 2-1GB sticks or 1-2GB stick. The comp won't use more than 2GB total.
The RAM is 2GB
sure you can
A motherboard's max RAM refers to how much TOTAL RAM it can handle. If it says the max is 2 GB than you would install two 1GB modules OR a single 2GB module.
not nessesarily. it depends on what needs that much RAM
2gb.
Yes. It depends on how much you have already, and what is the size of the working set. The working set is the amount of "most recently used ram". (Amongst processes that are actively using the CPU.) If this amount is less than available ram, you are going to have excessive swap activity, which (using the disk) is very, very, very much slower than ram. If you already have 2gb of ram, then adding 2gb of ram will boost performance somewhat. If you already have only 256mb ram, then adding 2gb of ram will boost performance dramatically.
Most computers will hold about 1-2GB of RAM but it depends on the computer.

It depends on the RAM chip. Some are 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB.
