> So it is Possible to put one of 2GB and other of 4gb to get 6GB?

 

Yes, it will work.

 

However, it will be better to add one 4GB stick.

The motherboard will then use "dual-channel" support.

When it writes 8 bits (one byte) to the RAM, 4 bits will go to one stick, and, at the *SAME* time, the other 4 bits will go to the other stick.  So, rather than taking 8 "cycles" to write 8 bits to one stick, it will take only 4 "cycles" to write the 8 bits to the two sticks -- your RAM will seem to be "faster" than if you only had 6 GB.

Hi,

 

Yes. Please get more information for RAM on page 3, part number and how to add/replace RAM on page 56 of the following manual

Hi,

 

It will generate more heat but very, very, small. I would not concern about this.

Maybe, but that implies that the internal fan will run slightly faster, to provide more cooling.

 

Maybe not -- Windows will use the extra RAM, instead of using the disk-drive, and that will result in the disk-drive running slightly cooler.
