    it has 4g can it go any higher? Also what's the BUS speed on the current ram? If any one knows that would be great, thanks.

    No. DDR3 and DDR2 have a different amount of pins. they are not interchangeable.

    The difference between DDR2 and DDR3 is negligible at best. It is more of a marketing gimmick than anything else, do not be fooled by the hype.

    4 GB's of RAM is enough, anything more is just a waste of money for everyday performance and gaming.
