There is a limit to how much ram your system will support. This can be found in the
system manual or the manufacturers website. Another easy way to check is to go to
a memory site like crucial.com and plug in your model and it will tell you the max
memory details. Sometimes you can mix ram and sometimes not. Good luck!!!
