How much memory would I be able to upgrade my computer to? I have 64-bit Windows 7, shouldn't I be able to put nearly as much as I want? I currently have 6GB RAM, and I'm constantly using all of it, which causes slow-downs for my system. I was looking at 8GB to 16GB of RAM.
Thanks in advance!
The amount of RAM you can install in a 64 bit system is limited by your motherboard specs, as Paulpicks has mentioned. So you need to look that up.
After that you will be limited to the maximum size of a stick of compatible RAM - times 2. Currently the largest sticks are 8GB. So if your motherboard will allow 16GB RAM, and 8GB sticks, then you could possibly install 16GB.
I'm curious to how you have 6GB now. Do you have one 4GB and one 2GB?
You can look your system/motherboard up at Crucial.com and it will tell you exactly how much of what type of memory your computer can use.
I had to edit this I found 3gb DDR3 ram http://www.bing.com/shopping/centon-...icks&FORM=HURE
