    Welcome to WindowsBBS;)

    Windows 32 bit like you have can only use 3 to about 3.5 gigs of ram. There is nothing you can do to change that.

    Have to monitors your system to determine if you're maxing out the current 2 gigs? I have 2 gigs with XP and am currently using less that half of that. Adding more wouldn't help anything.

    Hi jixsonn, Welcome to Windowsbbs! :)

    If your motherboard supports 4 GB of DDR2 RAM then yes the system should work fine.

    There won't be any problems with the machine if you have a total of 4 GB of RAM installed. 32-bit Operating Systems just won't be able to use all 4 GB of RAM.

    If you are not sure if your motherboard supports 4 GB of RAM then download and run the Crucial System Scanner.

    Also please enter your System Details. It helps us in answering your questions.

    Note: A common error is to forget to show your System Details in your profile:

    Make sure to do the above when entering your System Details, thanks.
