Upgrading RAM without Format

Sovik · Jun 21, 2014

I have already ZION 2GB DDR3 1333MHZ RAM, and I want to upgrade more 2GB, total 4GB.

But I don't want to format my O.S :pfff:

. I have duel booting

1st. Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
2nd. RHEL6 x86_64 bit.

If I don't do format then what will happen ??? Will I get 4GB performance without format ?? :ouch:

( but I don't want to format my O.S, because there have more configuration in RHEL6 )

Your Windows 7 will only be able to use 3.5GB, but you will still notice a performance increase from having another 1.5GB of usable RAM.

64 bit Windows would be best, but the 32 bit version will be fine.

You don't have to worry about the Hard Drive, and formatting - it has nothing to do with how much DRAM you have

or can I get performance without format my O.S ? but I'm getting good performance without format. And I'm also thinking to format. I'm too much confuse .

You dont need to format the hard drives. Everything will work fine. You will see a performance increase.

What i was saying, was that a 32 bit OS can only support a maximum of 4GB, usually 3.5 - 3.8GB usable, due to limitations of 32 bit.

You can still get 4GB of RAM, but you will not be able to use a small part of it. That will not matter, you will still see an improvement in performance.
