Actually; there's two things to consider when upgrading RAM; first; you should look up specs on your computer as to just how much mem your mobo supports; second (i'm not sure myself,but..) you should find out just how much your OS can hold....

I ain't an expert; but I'm sure if you google the things I mentioned; you'll find plenty of answers:)


P.S. On reply; remember to post your PC brand & model #.

Lastly; (if I remember correctly;) see if your comp will support DDR2 RAM;;;because I'm not totally sure; but I think I read somewhere that it's the fastest memory available right now....

Actually it doesnt really depend on what os you got.

All you need to know is your mobo model and the type of memory it can support

cheers!

No; here's living proof quote from the HP website on your product specs:

Quote:
"32 MB SyncDRAM shared memory architecture, three total DIMM slots upgradable to 384 MB - 4 MB dedicated for video memory (SyncDRAM DIMM required)"
