Hussain Sheik :

Currently, you appear to have 2 x 2GB sticks. = 4GB
The get 8GB, you need to buy 2 x 4GB sticks of whatever RAM is applicable to that motherboard, and replace the existing 2 x 2GB.

can i purchase 6gb ram and i will remove one 2gb slot ram to add 6gb ram , then finally i will reach 8gb max, is it correct process..?

Hussain Sheik :

Not necessarily, for a couple of reasons:
Can the motherboard slots handle more than 4GB each?
RAM sticks should be installed in matching pairs. A 2GB and 6GB might work, or might not work well.

RAM is not very expensive, it's best to keep it consistent 2x4GB

you may right, but if i purchase 2x4gb rams , the slot rams 2x2gb ram's became useless, no use with those, i have to put extra money for purchase 2x4gb ram's.....

Buy the 2 x 4G sticks. Install and proceed.
Sell the existing 2 x 2GB. Money partially recovered.

Hi, if you have 4GB RAM and you have 2 slots, with the slot 0 unused, then you can buy an additional 4GB RAM to have the maximum of 8GB.
