Hopefully just a quick and simple one.
My brother is looking to add some more RAM to his machine.
He has 4 slots, 2 available with the other 2 occupied with Corsair 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2 6400 PC RAM currently.
He is also using 32bit Windows 7.
If he were to add some more RAM what would be his options?
I understand that using 32bit Windows he will only be able to use somewhere in the region of 3.5 Gb of RAM?
Would it be possible to add a single 1Gb stick of the same memory to one of the 2 open slots?
His processor is a Q6600 and graphics card I think is a 9800gtx or thereabouts. So his machine is getting on a bit but I think he would just like a slight boost when dealing with multiple programs.
Thanks in advance.
