Can I upgrad to 8GB Ram on my Desktop Computer

[elscarface]

Hello I just checking the memory specification for my Desktop Computer and it shows the following:

Memory upgrade information

• Dual channel memory architecture
• Two 240-pin DDR2 DIMM sockets
• Supported DIMM types:
  • PC2-5300 (667 MHz)
  • PC2-6400 (800 MHz)
• Non-ECC memory only, unbuffered
• Supports 2GB DDR2 DIMMs
• Supports up to 4 GB* on 32 bit PCs
  • 32 bit PCs cannot address a full 4.0 GB of memory.

It shows that it supports up to 4GB on 32 bit PCs but my PC has Windows 10 64bit. So my question is can I upgrade to 8GB-16GB? If yes, since it only has to slot should each be 4GB for a total of 8gb?

Hi:

Unfortunately the maximum memory each slot can handle is 2 GB.

Your PC's motherboard would need to have 4 memory slots in order to upgrade the memory to 8 GB.

The Intel Intel G31 Express can only handle 2 GB of memory per slot.

It doesn't matter..32 or 64 bit operating system.  The max is 2 x 2 GB of memory.
