I am currently sitting at 4 GB (DDR3 according to CPU-Z) and I have a couple questions regarding upgrading the RAM on my desktop. I commonly use my computer for gaming and such and have noticed that after installing windows 7 64-bit, the amount of physical memory being used is significantly higher.
First of all, I'm not sure exactly how much RAM I should be looking to add. Like I said, I'm currently at 4 GB worth and I do a fair amount of PC gaming so how much would be a good amount to add?
Finally, I have a question about installing the RAM after I've purchased it. Can I just plug it in to the slot on the motherboard and I'm good to go or is there some sort of software/BIOS that I'll need to install to get it up and running?
