You can upgrade as high as your motherboard will allow - check here though for some thoughts before adding much more: http://www.sevenforums.com/performa...y-senseless-upgrade-can-i-take-advantage.html

I run 8gb and have yet to go over 50% use

That model maxes out at 4gb with four 1gb dimms. Here's how the specs in one older cnet review list those for memory.
