I never have seen any but I have heard of pcs that have a huge amount of ram. and vista 64 says it can have like 124 gb or something like that (obviously i dont have the 10000 to shell out for such a uselessly high amount, but i would like to add some otherwise this is kind of a useless os upgrade for me.)
Discussion is locked
there were risers in the 80s that could expand one slot into 2 or 4 slots, but there's no reason for this with modern PCs since 2gb (and even 4gb) dimms are available.
i couldnt find any and thats what mine uses. also is there away for it to use the ramm on another pc thats not running anything other than windows?
2gb ddr2 and ddr3 is common. even ddr-400 comes in 2gb capacity, but some motherboard won't be able to handle it. as profitt said, visit kingston.com or crucial.com and see how much ram they say your PC can handle.

as for ram on another pc, "fuhgetaboutit"!
so funny reading this now, in 2014
common now is DDR3-1600, highest is a 16GB 3GHz chip 
I have 128's coming out my ears (yeah, I know, don't get smart.) and a few 256's, and it would be nice to put them to use. Computer only has 2 slots and even a couple of 512's are out of my budget range right now. Suggestions?
You state it's expensive. I can't tell what country you are in but for 35 bucks I think newegg.com had a 2GB pair for sale. Here, that is not expensive. In closing you might have some old RDRAM board but didn't tell.

Only one ram slot in my laptop can i add another slot without change mother board ..i have two ram but in my laptop only single ram slot please suggest how to add both ram in my laptop or suggest any adapter available i market if yes so where or can i purchase online shop..
This one is buried under an 8 year old discussion. Top post so all can see it and add the make, model of your machine.
Also, see if Crucial.com has some RAM for this machine.
Very likely it will use no more than 8GB...unless maybe you play with the BIOS. Personally I don't like to play with the bios. RAM are cheap, just get memory per stick.
