Aint nobody here gonna know if you have open slots for 1! Secondly, if you dont know enough about ram to know better than "will any ram cartridge work?" I suggest you take it to someone who knows what they are doin! I get a chuckle outta Tom too! Since when does the bios add memory slots to a mobo? Just poof and they appear? I better reflash my bios so I can add 80 more slots huh?

Hey Dude,
NO. Goto http://www.crucial.com and look for what will work in your computer.
Sometimes, you may need to upgrade the bios to accept more RAM.
Take a look at this site. It will help you a lot.

Google for the instruction manual for that workstation, it is going to say what the max ram is. My wager is any workstation with purely 2gb, can't have a lot greater. computers right now have around 8gb to 12gb usual.

Take your machine online to www.crucial.com for a free rundown on your particular setup and recommendations about RAM. That should give you an idea.

No, you need whatever RAM your motherboard supports.
