How Much Ram Can I have

[Jamesreeves_2007]

Based on my spec below, what is the maximum size of RAM my system can cope with? I have 2 Slots I believe, and each one is occupied with 1GB

You can go up to 4GB on that.

If you want the maximum amount of RAM you could get two 2 gigabyte (4 gigabytes total) DDR2 800 (PC2-6400) 240-pin modules and that would be the maximum amount your motherboard could handle. In my opinion I would just save my money for a new computer. You are not going to see much of an increase in performance going from 2 gigabytes to 4 gigabytes of RAM.

You are not going to see much of an increase in performance going from 2 gigabytes to 4 gigabytes of RAM.

You only have 32-bit Windows, so the maximum memory your computer would recognize is 3.25 GB, even if you have 4 GB installed. And now that I see you are running Vista, I would recommend upgrading to get that extra GB of memory. It would help because Vista uses around 1 GB of memory in itself.

Your system would benefit most from a better graphics card. You can easily stick a Nvidia 7600 GT in your computer for a considerable boost. If you upgrade power supply, you'll be able to stick something better in there - like a 8800, 9600 or 9800.
