How do I know what is the limit of memory I can put into a computer?

I have a mad slow laptop of 110 MB of memory and I want to add memory via memory flash drives. But Ive heard that every computer has a limit on how much memory you can put into it, so i dont want to go all out and get the biggest memory flash drive not knowing that it wont work afterwards because of the limit. So any suggestions?|||i think you are talking about ram. flash drive are like removeable memory. to find out how much ram you can hold go to crucial.com they will run a scan of your pc and tell you reccommended upgrades|||Memory and Flash Drives are different things. If you want to use Vista (or 7's) ReadyBoost feature then I would think a 4GB flash drive would be good. I don't think it can be limited by size, only by USB 1.1 which if your computer has 110MB of Memory then it might have USB 1.1. To upgrade the Memory in your computer, check the specifications online or on the Manufacturers website.|||You can't add memory by putting flash drives in. You can (with Vista) use flashdrives as a RAM boost but that's not the same thing at all.


To know how much actual RAM you can have on your computer you need either the manufacturer's site or one of the big memory company sites like PNY or Kingston.
