Hello all....I've been learning all I can about RAM and still don't really understand what I need to purchase. I purchased photoshop elements and it is very sluggish on my system. After reading numerouse articles I realized I have 1Gig of RAM. Dinosaur, right! I have multiple designing programs and like to multitask but unfortunately I can't with 1 Gig of RAM. My dilema is I can't afford a new computer so I'm hoping upgrading will help. Will adding more RAM help with multitasking using my photo editing ram hogs? I would like to upgrade the RAM to the max. It appears, not sure, that I can upgrade to 4Gig. Am I right. Most all reviews gave Kingston the highest mark. Any help with this would be wonderful and so appreciated. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Here are my system specs:
4 sockets (2 Banks of 2)
PC2-4200/5300 DDR2 SDRAM DIMMS
Supports Dual Channel
Intel Pentium D
Model - 800/10066 mhz FSB
Intel 945P chipset
