Maximum RAM install?

[vale46]

Hi, thanks for reading.
My packard bell iXtreme 2613 has a foxconn MB in it, here is a link.

http://www.foxconnchannel.com/product/Motherboards/detail_spec.aspx?ID=en-us0000191

When i first got the PC is came with 32bit Vista OS and 3 gig of DDR2. The MB only has 2 slots, what i want to know is can i put 2x4gig modules on it so i have 8gig of Ram ?

Now that i am running Windows 7 64bit i want to maximumise my ram potential, i have mailed foxconn and they were less then helpful saying they cant give any infomation out on a discontinued MB...thanks foxconn !!!! I bought it, its now out of date so your not interested in me ! great P.R there guys.

So the link has some specs there, can anyone advice me about the maximum ram i can install please. At the mo i have upped it to 4gig for the W7 64bit OS and it is recognised.

I wont hold anyone at fault if i blow it up, just some opinions please.

Kindest regards,

Vale..

P.S. Merry xmas ;p

Sorry, there is numerous N15235 MB's i have since opened the case and verified a very small model number.

PT8907MB 2.0 8ERS2H

This is definately the correct N1523 MB i have, there are so many types that look identical.

My oppolgies, still this MB isnt listed at Foxconn either so i am still in the same boat for infomation.

thank fro so much for the above

Well, looks like 4GB is the max. that you can go - only on 64 bits Win 7.

If you have 32 bits Win 7 - even you have 4GB, the system will only show 3GB.

Hope it help.

Thanks, where did you find this info, can you post the link please ;p

also, why is there a maximum ? if i put 2 x 4gig strips in will it blow the board or just not recognise anything after 4gig ?

thank you so much for the replies pkww2

Regards.

For any other tech heads out there, what governs the maximum ram that can be added to a MB ? (apart from slots) lol

Is it a bios thing ? or voltage etc ?

Cheers for any calrification ;p
