CatFangs806 said: Upgrading to 16 GB is pretty much useless, as Windows 7 64bit can only use up to 8 GB. It's a problem on my new computer. I can't understand why Windows only can recognize only so much ram. |
Windows 7 can recognize upto 192gbs of ram unless you are using the basic or starter version.if you are using 64-bit then you should be using atleast professional win7
