My computer came with 512 ram. Can increase to 2g?
I have added 1 g ram and now want to add another 1 g. I could only find a 2 g stick. Can I take out the 512 and the 1 g and add the one stick with 2 g's, in only one slot? I'm computer illiterate sort of and need assurance.
I "did" a Crucial scan and my system can take 2 g's. To clarify, I wasn't able to purchase two 1 g's only a 2g stick. Will that suffice?

If it is a common computer, you can go to www.crucial.com
Input your information in the spaces they provide ( memory )
and the site will tell you the total RAM you can use and the types that will fit without problems.

It depends. You can most probably put 2 1GB Sticks in. It also depends on when you computer was made. It may not be able to support 2 GB but that is pretty rare. Can't tell you much as I don't know the type of pc it is.
Good Luck.

I think if you write down the specification for your motherboard for RAMs here than we can advice better, or else we will be guessing what kind of motherboard configuration you have. Check your computer's User manual and at the RAM section see whether there is a section for RAM upgrading.

Depends on what type of motherboard you have. If you have a dual channel board, it would be best to install two 1gbs instead of one 2gb.
The best thing i would suggest is go to Crucial.com and try their memory scanner. It will tell you what you need. They also have some of the best RAM.
