Deciding whether to get new PC or put new hard drive in my PC - posted previously on problems- hard drive has crashed.
The guy who came to help me said to get more RAM - new hard drives and he would repair windows
Went to purchase RAM and showed the man my manual for my Gigabyte Ultra Durable TM3 MB GA-P55 -UD3P
Under Memory it says - 4 x 1.5DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16GB of system memory
This guy said - it will not take anymore than the 4gb of RAM that I already have installed - I could put more in but it would be not be available?
I found his accent difficult to understand.
I do not understand this if it says 16gb why can I not have 16gb?
I am basing my decision on whether to get a new PC on this as if I cannot increase to more than 4gb of RAM then its maybe time to update.
Very confused. Thanks for advising me.
