Well I had 4GB of ram. I just got one more 2GB stick. I put it in, but when I right click on My Computer and go to properties, it still says 4. Any suggestions ?

32bit operating system?
mobo can only do 4gb?
might have to be in pairs?


give us some info bout mobo, OS, and ram

99% change its one of these imo

Well in the instructions it says it can handle up to 16GB on Windows XP Pro x64, but on Windows x32, it will only allow a maximum of around 3GB. So I think i've solved the problem...I mean half way solved it. Now I just have to fix it!

So in other words, i'de have to buy a new OS in order to get it to work ? If so is $149 a good price for Windows 7 Pro x64 ? Thats what they are selling it for at the place I originally bought the comp from. I wouldn't care about getting it if my comp didn't have 6G in it that it was only able to use half of.

I've used that site, and I've given it to JFOBP and a few other friends and every key was legit. Just make sure you download the RIGHT OS for the key. Someone downloaded Win7 Pro and had bought a Win7 Home. The nice thing about the Win7 setup is you can launch the exe from your desktop and don't need to burn it to a disk. JFOBP's key took the longest to get at around 12 hours, mine took about 30 mins so don't get nervous if your key doesn't immediately get sent to your email.

Or find a friend in a computer science program at a school who is part of the MSDNAA

Unless you do some heavy rendering/sampling, you'll very rarely see your pc take more than 4 GB so you don't have to rush it :)

I have a AMD K2 333mhz, with 256mb RAM, and TNT graphics card and a 16GB WD HD...I can run source just fine
