One thing I’d like to say is that before purchasing more pc memory, consider the machine directly into which it can be installed. If your machine can be running Windows XP, for instance, the memory threshold is 3.25GB. Putting in more than this would easily constitute any waste. Make certain that one’s motherboard can handle the actual upgrade amount, as well. Interesting blog post.
