jamer123, you're illiterate and have no idea what you're talking about, so don't try to help people.

1) Kazilla, do you know your motherboard's maximum RAM capacity?

2) Are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit Operating System?

3) 4-GB of RAM is useless on a 32-bit processor, as you will only get 3.4GB of the RAM.

4) Are you using DDR or DDR2? (I don't think you're using SDRAM or RIMM)

1) Has four slots, IIRC when I bought it, I read it could go up to 4GB.
2) 32-bit.. Where do you go to 64-bit?
3) --
4) DDR

4-GB Max with a 1GB per-slot maximum I'm guessing. Somehow WetWired knows that you have DDR2. He probably took the time to look up your earlier posts and checked your motherboard.

I think you should have bought 3 1GB DDR2 modules and then 1 512MB DDR2 module.

Well, whatever the case, as long as those are DDR2, then just open up the case and remove the two modules and replace them. Easy as that. It can be done in under a minute.

Oh, by the way, go into the control panel and go to "System" to see what OS you have.

I have Windows XP Media Center.

R-click > Properties > Settings. 32-bit Highest Color Quality.

WetWired did some searching for my Warhammer crash issue, so he has alot of the information of my computer or my computer type.

DDR2 (Yes, Kaz, you need DDR2)

I purchased the RAM off of Dell, went through my system configuration and propeties. So I'm certain I got the right kind. There is a screenshot I posted somewhere on here with a picture of my system properties. in the memory box it read DDR.

This is what I bought.

It is DDR2 then. Double Data Rate 2 Symmetric Dynamic Random Access Memory. Holy crap, I have that memorized. Well, I better pass the CompTIA A+ exams then.

So, to install it. It's as easy as popping my case open, locating my RAM. Removing the old x2 512MB sticks, and replacing them with the x4 1GB sticks?

Also, whats with the 64-bit OS? Is it an upgrade I can do at home, or a purchase I will have to make. Is it worth it to upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit?

Max capacity is 4GB.

3.4 is still better than 3, and they don't make 768MB sticks to my knowledge.
