My PC is 3 years old and I know it has 192 ram. I'd like to install more but I don't know how to find out the Max it can take. Is there a file or setting I can check to find the answer?
Thanks for any help

You should be able to run at least a gig. What you have now is 256 megs with 64 megs shared to the video leaving you with 192 megs to work with. That's not enough for most of todays applications.
To determine what type of ram that you are using you can download a small program called CPUZ. It will scan your system and report the type and kind of Motherboard and ram that you are using now. http://www.cpuid.com
This program does not need to be installed, it will run right out of it's program folder. Be aware that the file will come in zipped and will need to be unzipped before you can use it.
You can also go to the motherboard manufacturer's web site and download the "user manual" for you board. It will tell you just how much ram the board can support.
By the way, XP can support up to 4 gigs. Vista will support as much as 16 gigs.

If it's an off-the-shelf PC, what is the make and model?
If it's not, download Belarc Advisor and post the contents of the Main Circuit Board section when you have run it.
From that someone will be able to google the specs and find the (a) maximum (b) speed and (c) type of RAM you need.

check the motherboard manufacturer site for the specifications, its likely it will take at least 2 x 256mb chips, check if it supports 512 per slot then you could get away with 2 x 512mb

that would count on the motherboard. you will possibly ought to seek for the specs on the manufacturers website. i might have concept so, yet older boards had the situation the place, it might in basic terms run say a million slot at 3200, and a couple of slots had to be run at 2700... you will ought to analyze. The TECHNICAL answer to you question is, 'sure' nonetheless. you may placed PC3200 in, yet while that is not supported, it will in basic terms run at PC2700 speeds
