How much memory can my cpu hold?

Well as some help: Some computers can only use a certain amount of RAM, but may actually have more as a kind of back up source. The computer you have there seems to be a media/home model if it can only use 2 gigs of RAM. The part where it says "PC manufacturer's maximum memory may differ" only means that the actual manufacturer could have made it handle more RAM, probably not though. I'm not sure about this, but I think it is possible to trick your PC into using all of your RAM assuming you have more than 2 gigs of it. I would say your computer can only hold 2 gigs without any problems.
