i thought it depended on what the motherboard could
handle.
You have to ensure your previous RAM is compatible
with the new RAM. And that it's compatible with
your motherboard.
Have a look at the memory configurators

Not a problem. We all do it now and then.

Of course. Regardless of what the operating system supports, you
can't use more RAM than the motherboard supports, and that's
usually less than what the operating system supports.

Nevertheless, each operating system does have a max, and it's 2GB
for 9x/Me, and 4GB for XP.
