dumb computer question

[kraegar]

More ram is never a bad thing. It's basically how many things your PC can juggle at once. Things likely are a little smoother, it's like you just gave it twice as many hands.

The BIOS is a needed step on PCs to recognize more ram, the BIOS is where all the ram speed & voltage settings are at. It'll auto-recognize new stuff once you go into the BIOS, so you usually just have to enter and save. It's best if all the RAM in a system matches for optimal performance, but not required.
