Hi i have a prebuilt HPDC 7800 CMT(Convertible MiniTower) now originally this PC had Windows Vista 32bit which hold only 4GB,i recently upgraded PC to Core 2 Quad q6600,Windows 764bit, now looking at my PC specifications it shows my Ram is Expandable up to 8GB,

question is since im on a 64bit OS can i have More then 8? My Motherboard has 4DDR2 Ram Slots

Most DDR2 boards were limited to 8GB. A 32 bit OS can only see 4GB. By moving to a 64 bit OS you can use more than 4GB but the 8GB limit is with your motherboard and not the OS. You can use 4 x 2GB sticks.
