If you’re wondering how much RAM your computer can handle, you’re in the right place. Knowing your PC’s maximum RAM capacity is essential when considering an upgrade. Follow these simple steps to check the maximum RAM your motherboard supports.
First, you need to access the Command Prompt:
1. Search for “cmd” in the search box on your computer.
2. Right-click on the “Command Prompt” option that appears and select “Run as administrator.” This will open a command prompt window.
Now, let’s find out the maximum RAM capacity:
3. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command:
wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx
4. Press Enter. After a moment, you will see a number displayed. This number represents the maximum RAM capacity your motherboard can support, measured in kilobytes.
Here’s the final step to convert that number into gigabytes (GB):
5. To convert the number you see into GB, just divide it by (1024 x 1024).
For example, if the command gives you a number like 8388608, you would divide that by 1048576 to get 8 GB, which means your PC can support up to 8 GB of RAM.
That’s it! You’ve successfully determined the maximum amount of RAM that your computer can handle. If you are looking to upgrade your RAM, make sure not to exceed this limit.
Feel free to share this guide with others who might need it and help them find their PC’s RAM capacity too!
