My Computer

What are you using this system for???

What Operating system are you using???

If you are using XP or Vista 32bit then max you can put on there is 4GB of memory but if you are using 64bit Vista then you can put 8GB max. I recommend you get DDR2 6400 (800Mhz).


As for the other system, well i can't say much because it's old and i don't know much about it.

Each motherboard is different when adding ram.
Your 965 board should be the same as most others and support 4 and possibly higher.
Your 845 however usually has a 2 gig limit on cheaper boards, usually comes with 2 ram slots and on many there is a 512mb limit.
some of the 845g/e/f etc models were modified by asus msi and a few others to accommodate more than 2 gig of ram.
When in doubt download your manual and find out.
