ram upgradation suggestion required!!

BULLZI · 24-06-2007, 05:47 PM

rite now i hv p5b deluxe supportin max 8 gb ram
i hv now 2*1 gb ram
i wanna hv 2 gb more.
bt in the motherboard book,its written tht "we recommend not 2 use more than 3 gb ram coz the system may show less than 3 gb due to some
addressing mode expansion[somethin like tht,i cant remember rite now]

now my quetion is if i buy a 2 gb ram now,will it be ok??n again if i put a 1 gb ram in a slot and a 2 gb ram in the other slot,will it be total of 3 gb??or even will my machine run properly??

it wont make any difference if u upgrade more than 2gb of ram no existing processes need that requirement. it is more than sufficient. if u do put an additional 1gb it'll work for sure but u'll be dissapointed.

Any 32-bit OS can address only upto 3gb RAM so in order to use that 4gb you have to install 64-bit OS. I use winxp pro 64-bit with 4GB ram and it works fine. But remember for gaming or normal usage 2gb is enough.
I work in MAYA so that much RAM is required.
