    Probably 2GB. You can try more, but buy it somewhere it's easily returnable. Also you'll need a 64 bit OS Linux, Vista or XP to see more than 3GB of memory.

    The maximum amount of RAM that the computer supports is indeed 2GB. I used to have a Presario F500 series myself and I became very familiar with the specs and capabilities of the system. When you buy RAM for the computer, make sure that you get PC-4200 DDR2. That is the type of RAM that this system uses.
