    Yep you can add up to 8gb. 2 X 4gb config. It only has 2 ram slots.

    Yes, you can, although you will not see a performance advantage unless you make very heavy use of RAM (ie: running multiple virtual machines). Price-wise, it doesn't yet make sense to get a pair of 4GB modules unless you have a specific reason for doing so.

    Can you? Yes
    Is it worth it. No
    4GB sticks are expensive and you would need 2 reach capacity.
    But it if it's just for gaming don't bother.
