Obviously you've seen the motherboard. On it you will notice the maker, i.e. ASUS, TYAN, BIOSTAR, etc. Next to the maker name you should see the model number and possibly a rev. (revision) number. Record these and go to the respective manufactor's site and find your model and view specs for your motherboard. It'll tell you max memory capacity and the type you need.

There IS a maximum amount for each slot of each motherboard! Check the manufacturers website or go to a memory site like crucial.com and download and run their scanner and it will tell you what fits. You do NOT have to buy the memory from them to use their scanner, just write down what the specs are and then shop online, on in a store. for what you want at the best price.

I don't think so. There's no maximum limit for RAM in a computer. Probably you were just putting the RAM card on the wrong slot.
