If your using Vista 32bit, The OS will only access up to 4gbs. Well, alittle less after hardware addresses. If the system is not using all the memory you have, installing 16gbs will make no difference. If you have 4gbs. and your system never uses more than say 3.25gbs. Installing 8gbs, Its just sitting there looking pretty.
