(PS3 has 516MB). The difference in today's technology is DDR1s 2s and 3s and the speed of the RAM.

Your OS reqs a min. But it will detect a certain amount. Upgrade your OS to 64-bit versions or higher if you are going higher than 2GB.

You can mix pizza from Pizza Hut and from Domino's in your tummy all the same. Just make sure they physically fit in your computer.

RAM is used for operation not for storage. When you save files they are saved to hard disk space, (or an external medium of your choosing) not in RAM. They won't be affected. However, you shld in any case back up all folders containing your files to an external storage device regularly and definitely before any modification to your PC. Then if data in the PC shld somehow be affected you can just load those folders back in when all is fixed.

Basically a PC uses (1) RAM for operating, and your processors draw on (2) cached memory from the hard drive when really busy (known as 'paging') and (3) yr PC uses hard disk or external storage space to 'save' completed operations as files.
