Motherboards having
2 memory slots:
Some
of the low cost motherboards have only 2 RAM slots. Generally each slot can support
1 GB memory so we can connect 1 GB memory modules to each of the slot so that the
performance of the computer can be improved with the total 2 GB RAM.
Motherboards having
4 memory slots:
Some motherboards have 4 RAM slots. So we might think that we can connect 4 GB of
RAM to the computer which will greatly increase the performance of the computer.

Yes, we can connect 4 GB physically but some of the 32-bit operating systems may
not provide the entire 4 GB RAM of memory to us instead it sets side some part of
the memory for internal uses and provide around 3 GB for us.
So, if we want to utilize
all the memory slots for increasing the performance the better option is to connect
two 1 GB memory modules to two slots and two 512 MB memory modules to the remaining
slots.
Even if we add four 1 GB memory modules to each of the slots we are going
to get the performance that is almost same as 3 GB only. So we are unnecessarily
spending money on one 1 GB memory module.
