Actually, all computers have their limits. Computers can run at any speed of RAM unless it is recommended by the technician. But if you do upgrade a new and faster RAM, there could be a possibility that the computer will hung on you. RAM divides the memory to certain programs. At normal state, the computer RAM will be able to open multipe programs simultaneously. Unless there is still RAM left you can open another program and not close the other. But if the RAM exceeds the capabilities of the computer, it will surely hund up. The system is processing data too fast and all the RAM is concentrated on one task. Example, you open Microsoft Word all the RAM is concentrated to open it, then you open another, it will cause the system to slow down and eventually hung. So only upgrade to a RAM that your computer can handle.

That usually depends on the motherboard. If you have a user's manual, check to see the maximum amount of RAM it accepts. If your PC came as a fully-assembled, out-of-the-box machine, you should google the model or part number (example: Dell Latitude C610) and find a site that lists the specifications. The part number is your best bet, if you can find that information.
And yes, every computer has a maximum amount of RAM it can handle. Beyond that, either it won't recognize the RAM stick, or it will only see the amount of RAM listed as maximum in its specs.

Certain Speed, Pins a etc.
Some RAM will slow down for a computer, but, it best to use what the computer call for and work even better with the same Brand and Specs. CAS rating may be different on two brands and even that can cause problems, though it may work.
Go here and enter memory search; http://www.memorygiant.com/index.cfm?p=219&k=187650&ovmkt=HS9BG5UJU7RO02G6AS8P4KTVIG
It will most likely tell you what you need, then shop around.
When you get to the page with your types of memory, scroll down and the Specs tell how much your computer can take.

Check your users manual. If you don't have that, open up your computer and see waht kind of ram you're using. Different computers can only run certain types of ram.

You have to check your motherboard's manual. It tells you what kind of ram you should buy as well as how much you can add.
