Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Your computer had 2 gigabytes of RAM installed and you just upgraded another 2 for a total of 4 gigabytes. When you turn on the computer, you still only show 2 gigabytes. What would be a possible cause of this happening?
A
You need to register it in the bios first before it will be detected
B
The RAM was not fully seated in its slot
C
You did not properly close up the computer case
D
You need to install the RAM drivers first
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -YES! you can install a 2gb and 4gb RAM chip together. As long as the frequency is the same there isn’t going to be any issues. However, if you add 2gb 1066 and 4gb 1600 the system will read the 2gb and 4gb has 1066.

Detailed explanation-2: -Buy a 4 GB stick of RAM, preferably the same DDR rating as what you currently have, with the same CAS speed. Unplug your current 2GB stick and plug the 4GB stick in its place. Be sure to turn off your computer BEFORE doing any of this!

Detailed explanation-3: -Generally, the more RAM your computer has, the larger the digital countertop you have to work on and the faster your programs will run. If your computer is running slowly due to a lack of RAM, you might be tempted to increase virtual memory because it is less expensive.

Detailed explanation-4: -If you want to spend more money on upgrades, get an SSD. Can we install 8GB+2GB RAM? Yes we can, although ideally the 2 channels better have the same RAM installed. In other words, the laptop will perform better if you install 2*4GB instead of 8GB+0GB.
