I put 4 gb in my compaq desktop. 2 x 2 gb sticks. My computer says that there is 3.25 gb ram memory istalled? Is that normal? Thanks

Do you have a 32 bit or 64 bit OS? 32 bit OS doesn't use more than 4 GB, some goes to graphics and bios so 3.25 is normal.

That is normal. The system reserves a portion for "operating overhead." Only the difference is available. I have 4 gb installed, 2 x 2; only 3.0 is available.

Yes it is 2 X 4 GB, double channel 1866 DDR3, it does also come in 16GB packages (2 x 8 GB). Crucial is excellent RAM, and I am running two high-end computers with the 1866 Crucial, and it works awesome!

Personally, for what I got this for, 4GB is way more than enough (it's not a gaming PC, though it can handle games on low-to-medium graphic settings). Apparently though, the RAM is soldered onboard. So while I'm not sure whether the motherboard can handle upgrades, it's probably quite a job if it's possible.

Go to "control panel", then go to "system and security", then under the "system" see if it says RAM = 8.00GB. If it says so then yes. If it says 4.0 GB there, it has 4 GB.

There are 4 slots for RAM you will and you need to replace them in pairs. I hade the same problem 2 256K sticks for a total of 512K. To get to the 2GM maximum I bought 4 512K sticks of RAM and replace them all.

Hello, This is what I found.... System Memory (RAM) Expandable To Nonexpandable Maximum amount of memory a computer can support (as opposed to the amount that comes preinstalled).

Hi, My RAM has a Hynix sticker with 2GB 2Rx8 PC2-6400S-666-12 and then there is a bar code below the text. On top of that stickers bar code there is another sticker saying 2GB, DDR2-800 VOID IF REMOVED. The RAM was immideatly by my HP Mini 2140 that said that it detected a new configuration with a 2.08GB RAM and wanted to know if I should save that configuration in the BIOS. So I did and the machine booted up nicely. No problem for me. BR Tomas

I believe there are only two slots for ram memory sticks and both are being used by the existing 2 gig of ram each. To get it up to 8 gigs you may need to remove both memory sticks and install 2 new ones of 4 gig each. Basically you are throwing away the existing ram to upgrade to full 8 gigs. As for me, since I only use it as a multimedia server for my bedroom the 4 gigs is very adequate. Good luck.

It was memory for my desktop. I just went to www.crucial.com and the website scanned my computer. It then recommended the correct memory configurations and I chose the 2x2GB=4GB total, even though I have four slots, . Since I have XP Professional, XP only can use a maximum of 3+ GB, and by using only two of the slots, it operates more efficiently. That solved my Blue Screen crashing problem and I haven't had a problem since.

Hi Cet,There weren't a lot of computers that were built to accept the DDR2 4GB module. Being a rare part, it is quite expensive. ***Please verify that your machine can take a 4GB module before purchasing.*** I have included a link below to the 4GB DDR2 module. 4GB DDR2-667-PC2-5300 240 pin Desktop RAM Memory Upgrade by Arch MemoryThanks,TrishCustomer CareArch Memory

Hello Carlos, This laptop has 2 Memory slots and it can support RAM up to 8GB DDR3. Currently it has 1 slot occupied by a 4GB chip and the other slot is empty. Please let me know if you have any more questions! Sincerely, Rafael

No, because the maximum allowed memory for that desktop is 1 GB (2 x 512 MB). If you installed these two 1gb sticks from Komputerbay, the computer's motherboard will only recognize one of them.

It's 2 x 4GB. The computer has a total of 4 memory slots. The other 2 slots are empty and available for upgrades, they don't have to be installed in pairs. You can go all the way up to 32GB on this machine.

According to crucial.com this computer upgraded to 8 GB of RAM. There are four memory slots on the motherboard.

Yes, these are two sticks of 4 gigs each for a total of 8 gigs of ram. They're on sale for $65! Get them! (I paid $85 :p)

Yes ma'am according to Asus site you can use this ram 2 GB Up to 16 GB Dual Channel, DDR3 at 1333MHz 4 x DIMM. So I made the jump from 4 gb of ram to 16. Some may say it is over kill but I have no bottleneck in the memory flow.
