Technical Question about RAM

[Deleted]

S~

I was wondering...
There's more ram in my other PC that I'd like to dump into this one. I just realized that I'm currently using 1x2GB and 1x1GB RAM sticks in my PC.. But I have 4x1GB that I could put in it my current machine, that are all the same.

So, what I'm curious about first of all is.. Will I have to do anything else, but remove the old, and dump in the new? Or will I have to reformat or anything like that. Basically.. can I do it in 5 minutes, opposed to a couple of hours?

Should be enough to just remove the old and put in the new, your comp. should recognise and use them without any other input.
However, you must have a 64 bit operation system to make full use of 4 GB RAM, if you have a 32 bit one, you need to turn on PAE (Physical Address Extension), otherwise you'll only be able to use 3-3,5 GB (don't know the exact amount).
