    Have a couple of questions. want to increase ram at the moment have

    4GB-Kit GEIL Value PC3-10600 DDR3-1333 CL9 , from hardwareversand, the delievery for additional ram is 30 euro so going to use shop4memory.

    going for 4GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-10600 1333MHz CL9 NT Series Desktop dual channel memory kit.

    any problems with this?

    Notices on the computer properties that I have 4gb installed but only 2gb usable. Is this just allocation by the operating system to hardware?

    G.Skill Ram is quite high quality across the range, so you wont have any problems there. The 2GB of usable RAM is probably down to you having a 32 bit OS

    Cool thanks for that.

    Have 64 bit installed, just seems like windows 7 allocation or a motherboard allocation of ram. Have googled it and am getting some conflicting answers, was hoping someone else have figured it out.

    Thats very odd alright, how much RAM does your BIOS say you have ?
