http://live.pirillo.com/ – Every day it seems I get a ton of questions about RAM. I chose this one to answer, because this user is a bit confused. He has a 32-bit Windows setup, and can’t figure out why Windows won’t recognize more than 2GB of RAM when he installs it.

Elementary, my dear Watson. A 32-bit system can not use more than 2GB of RAM. If your system supports it, you’ll need to upgrade to a 64-bit version of Windows in order to install more RAM. If you’re adding RAM, make sure you know what brand you already have. Certain brands do not play nicely together. Of course, if you’re buying all new RAM and totally replacing what you have, that issue doesn’t really exist. I’m not going to go into depth about one type vs another… we’ll leave that for another video. Keep in mind that saving money isn’t always the route to go. In my opinion, you get what you pay for with hardware of any type. No, I’m not telling you to spend a fortune you cannot afford. Just… buy the best in your price range.
