OK, first, I don't know anything about computers. I know that I need to upgrade my RAM to play a certain computer game. Now, I have 256MB of RAM, I need at least 1GB (I want 2gb!) I also recetnly learned that not all computers can hold the same amount of RAM, I have a Dell Dimension 4550.
Where do I found out how much RAM my computer can hold, if you cant tell me. (If you can but need more info, just tell me what, and where to find it. lol. I'm completely clueless!
THANK YOU!

Most of the new games needs minimum 512 mb to 1 gb of ram. Most of the new motherboards can carry 2 to 4 gb of ram. I tink your dell machine can hold 2 gb of ram. But there is an another problem , That is your display card what is the memory on your display card better try for a min 256 mb display card for better gaming.

Max of 1 GB. Look on the Dell support site for specs for your computer. It will tell you the max amt of RAM (1GB) and the type of RAM (DDR 266 or DDR 333).

look on the general information on your computer. Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, Then Basic information. What type of processor do you have? The processor tells you how much RAM you can have and what kind you need. Look on the maker of the processors website.
