Yeah I just installed 64 bits of Windows 10 inside it. And inside website they say this:  When installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more

Right, I've done some googleing and judging by the forums it's max 4GB. Sorry.

Hello so i want to put 8gb of ram in my system (2x4gb) I have this motherboard: ASUS P5KPL-AM.

 

Under memory in theirs website it says this:

Memory

2 x DIMM, Max. 4 GB, DDR2 1066(O.C.)/800/667 Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory
Dual Channel memory architecture
*Overclock speed 
**Refer to www.asus.com or user manual for Memory QVL (Qualify Vendor List) 
***When installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, WindowsR 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed memory of less than 3GB is recommended.

But I'm not sure they mean 4gb in total or 4gb per stick?

I'm sure they don't mean 4GB in total because.. why would they? My brother's also still got DDR2 and he's got 6GB of RAM so it should work.. Also: Make sure you've got a 64-bit OS, because 32-bit has a limit of 4GB.

I think max 4GB per DIMM, but the amount of memory it says it supports is normally lower than what it actually will run on.

2GB DDR2 sticks are rather pricey though, and rare.

motherboard only supports 4GB of total system memory, FSB limitation or something, not too hot on older hardware even tho i have loads :P anyway you will not be able to have more then 4GB of RAM it seems

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
