Answer #3
you can’t replace DDR2 (if that’s what you have now) with DDR3
with AIDA64 monitor your memory usage and if your constantly using most of your ram add the 512 and see if it’s any better
Answer #4
You’ll need a 64 os to utilize more than 4gb of system memory.
Answer #5
Wasting your time.

my computer can use upto 32gb of ram and it uses ddr3 ram
Answer #7
Because it upsets dual channeling, adding odd ram would probably slow it down..
You can use Aida64, memory benchmark tests, before and after, to see the effect.
