    if u use a 32 bit versions, 4 GB is the limit so adding 2 extra GB wont make a difference

    if u use a 64 bit versions of the os add as much ads you want

    but some hardwares take a part of the RAM for itself (like the graphic card)

    with integrated graphics cards, the graphics use a portion of the installed RAM (different for each computer).

    if you add another 2GB, it will be 5.46GB usable.
