Hi Threeshotsolid
Use the Crucial system scanner, it will tell you what your best option for expansion/upgrade is.
There is no need to purchase anything just write down the recommended Ram details and then shop around for the best deal, when you find something you like the look of simply google reviews for the Ram and post the details here to get some feedback; http://www.crucial.c...ner/?click=true

Post the details of your W7 disk.

Also be aware that if you are running the 32 bit version of Windows then anything over 3.5 gigs of memory is useless.

I had the same problem, I was receiving notifications but couldn't`t read them until this morning UK time

FYI you cannot just upgrade from a 32 bit OS to a 64 bit OS.
This requires a format and fresh install.
You will need to backup any data you do not want to lose, format the system and the do a fresh installation of the new 64 bit OS. Reinstall all programs and then after verifying system is stable and working then and only then copy all your data back.

I know that. U have told me before. But my question is- the disc i installed windows 7 32bit from - does it instal 64 aswel or just 32

[rshaffer61]

What version of Win7 do you have?
IS it a OEM or retail disk?
OEM's usually have only one either 32 bit or 64 bit on them.
A full retail version will have both.
When installing you should be given the option of which you want to install if they are both on the disk.
