What RAM would I need to buy to increase to 8?

I believe there are only two slots for ram memory sticks and both are being used by the existing 2 gig of ram each. To get it up to 8 gigs you may need to remove both memory sticks and install 2 new ones of 4 gig each. Basically you are throwing away the existing ram to upgrade to full 8 gigs. As for me, since I only use it as a multimedia server for my bedroom the 4 gigs is very adequate. Good luck.

Go to www.crucial.com, then go to "memory" and agree to download the scanner which will scan your system and tell you what you can update to. If you can update to normal DD3 memory and your computer has room for 8gb or more you'll be fine. If it takes regular crucial it will take the Kingston - this memory is an excellent buy!

yes you can upgrade to a maximum of 4Gb. Ensure you look at the installed memory which should be either ddr2-pc2-5300 or ddr2 pc2-6400. match the ordering of additional ram to what you have installed. Good Luck

there is 24gb of RAM installed upgradeable to 32gb. is there currently an open slot for the additional 8gb or will i have to toss out all 24gb in there and buy 32gb of RAM for the upgrade?

If you want 8gb of ram total, then it would be best to go with 2x4gb instead of just one module of 8gb.

You can upgrade past 8gb. I currently have 12gb installed. My guess is 16gb is the maximum with 8gb per slot.

I'm not sure, but I can tell you when upgrading RAM you need to make sure of 3 things: 1. Type (this determines the pin configuration of the gold connectors on the bottom). 2. Speed (faster speeds in a system using a slower chipset will *usually* scale down, but slower speeds in a system using a faster chipset will slow the entire system down). 3. Amount (1 gigabyte up to 16 or more, as each hardware and each operating system has it's own minimum and maximum amount of RAM it can use). You can usually find the answers to all of these by going to your manufacturer's website and looking up your particular machine.

Yes, but here's the deal - - if you already have 4GB and want to upgrade to 8GB, make sure both memory modules are the same (speed, legacy, etc) so they are sure to work well together and that you will benefit from the new ram. If you cannot find a mem module that is the same as the one currently installed, then it would be best to buy 2 x 4GB mods that are identical. I found the Hynix ram to be an excellent product.

Your computer might have trouble picking up the new set as not all ram plays nice together unless bought in the same set. I would success buying the 4 8 gig set or you can take your chances and buy. This one and hope it works

I think you can go up to 8GB RAM before you are limited by the chipset on the board.

I do not believe the RAM can be upgraded. Not sure about any other hardware.

The two options available are 4GB and 8GB. I believe you can't upgrade to have more than 8GB max.

Check with the manufacturer. Usually there is a compatible ram list for each system board.

You got to open your computer ram and see how many slots were there... you said ur computer has 4gb ram usually it should be in 2 slots 2gb each and u can change one of the slot and put the higher gb one to improve performance.. remember before you go for higher gb one you should check online whether ur computer supports the new ram or not..

yes i have already add a 8gb ram. but i think if you really want to make some improvment you need a ssd

I believe you will want DDR3 memory, running at 1600MHz, sometimes referred to as PC3-12800. I blue my system out with 4 sticks of ripjaws and sold the one it came with on ebay https://www.facebook.com/domainsandwebsitehosting/posts/10152604571957826 worth it!

You can buy it with either 4 or 8 GB but you cannot upgrade it later. The chips are hardwired to the main board.
