So I've been sitting at 6 gigs of ram ever since I made this computer a number of years ago. It's served me well so far, but most of the games I'm interested in are starting to ask for a minimum/recommended 8 gigs. Building a new PC is financially out of the question for the foreseeable future, so I figured I'd at least try to spruce up some of the lesser components when I can. Only problem is that when it comes to ram I have absolutely no idea what to look for or what each of a particular type of stick's specifications even mean. All I know is that some boards don't take certain things and stuff like that.

So basically, what's the maximum amount of ram I could stick into this board, and what are some specific upgrades you lovely folks at Tom's suggest I get? Thanks in advance!
