Go to Crucial or Offtek sites. They both have a program that scans your computer and will tell you what is the maximum size of RAM, what combinations and what you have in at the moment. Google them. Very useful if you want to be absoultely sure.

WHAT application is telling you it merely helps a million GB in step with slot? Scrap it, because it would desire to be ineffective. the only place to be certain what your board will take is the producer's specs. If it merely accepts a million GB it is going to easily run the outfitted RAM as 1GB, or it won't run in any respect, or often times the device will consistently crash by memory leakage by incorrect addressing. Or no longer even initiate. yet earlier you purchase any further, verify the specs for the completed optimal it is going to take.some take 2 GB in step with slot, yet merely a finished universal of four GB in 4 slots. additionally in the journey that your device is 32 bit, you are able to no longer use 4 GB RAM. you will possibly desire to get 3.5GB in case you're fortunate, extra probable merely 3 GB. save dropping money.

Intel says that you mainboard does support 4gb of ram. There is no software to tell you what the board will support. Just the intel support pages.

No it doesnt support 4GB of ram, if you have a dual slot, the maximum ram for the board is 1GB for your specific mobo, your mobo does not support dual channel memory.
