basically, if your using windows vista 32 bit( which comes as standard with your machine, unless specified) then the answer is no. Vista won't recognise anymore than 3.5 g of ram and the only way to rectify this is to get a windows Vista 64 bit version.

There's a few threads on this site regarding RAM , so it might be useful having a look around to get more info

Hi xK1DREAPERx,

Unfortunately the board you have has a limit of 4gb total RAM as well as only the two slots.
