Hello everyone, and good evening, I am new to ComputerForums, but I am a member of many forums as I like to share my knowledge. A little about me, I am prior United States Navy, I was an Operations Specialists dealing in Navigation and Ships Weapons Systems. I got out and earned an Associates degree in Electrical Engineering, I am a little more than fluent in computers, and building them, taking them apart...(I am really good at that part.) Lol. Anyway, now I am a full time musician who has idols is many different genres.
The real reason I am here right now is this...
I have a Sony VAIO PCV-RS430G running Windows 7 32bit, 2GB PC3200 DDR NON ECC RAM, 2 CD/DVD-RW Drives, 2 120GB Internal HD's, and my question involves RAM...
What are the chances of my computer being able to run and use more RAM than Crucial or the manual says it can...I just want any number more than 2GB, I would ultimately like 4GB seeing as that is the most the 32 bit can use...I ask this because most of the recording programs I use require a minimum of 2GB, I don't want the minimum. Any and all help is welcome, and I can't really afford a high-end computer at the moment so please don't suggest that. Lol.
