You need to look at the specifications for your computers (which you did not say).

Some computers are limited to 4GB, many are limited to 8GB, and some are limited to 16GB. It depends on the BIOS and CPU.

Also if your Windows 7 is the 32-bit version, the limit for Windows 32-bit is a little over 3GB so then there would be no point upgrading

What is the version of operating systems? 32bit or 64bit?

With DDR3 and i3 CPU your mainboard possibly supports this amount of RAM you plan to upgrade to.
The only thing which could prevent or make this upgrade useless is bit version of your Windows. 32Bit (or x86) supports only 4GB RAM.

Hi Team, sorry for late reply.I have a windows 7 32 bit professional
Then you MUST reload a 64 bit version of Windows or any RAM upgrade you do will be a complete waste of money.
Thanks for all you
So we told you it would only run 4 GB. Why did you just accept a single solution?
i got a point so that's y accept the solution.WE have a 32 bit OS only.So we can't move to RAM upgrade that's y i accept the solution
