Hello, welcome! I see you're working with two identical PCs from your dad, each with 2x2 GB DDR2 RAM, totaling 4 GB. You're planning to upgrade one of them by adding RAM sticks from the other, aiming for a combined 8 GB. After testing, you noticed some issues when trying to install multiple slots at once. The manufacturer's specs mention a maximum of 4 GB per stick or the system won't work properly. It seems the documentation might be a bit unclear about how many sticks can fit together. You're using Windows 10 on an SSD and everything is running smoothly, but you're looking for more RAM to improve performance with Chrome. Let me know if you need help clarifying the specs or troubleshooting further!

It's discussing the limitations of 32-bit Windows when dealing with 4GB or higher RAM, especially in relation to motherboards that support more than 4GB.

Thanks, but I'm still unsure about your query. Can you confirm if it's about storing 8 GB of data? Since you have a 64-bit system and Windows, let me know how to proceed.
