Looking to Upgrade

[Vic 40]

With the pc i'm working on right now with 8gb of ram,is the min 16mb and the max set to 8192mb,you can double that last setting if you want.

Don't know if doubling the size of ram will help since you still have 2gb left when gaming.If you want to double that just look for what you have and try to get the same ram.Look with cpu-z under the spd tab for more info about your ram,there should be a partnr.At least try to get the same maker,model,speed,timings and voltage.
Best thing woulkd to sell the current ram and buy a 16gb set.Lok for more info here,

Look at part 2 "Just Add More DRAM".

You could check use of ram and virtual ram/pagefile like this,

Download hwinfo32,

http://www.hwinfo.com/download32.html

You can open hwinfo32,after that open the sensor window by marking sensors only=V,
after that click run

Can find more info about the ram as well like this,

Download hwinfo32,
http://www.hwinfo.com/download32.html
open it,
click run,
close the top window which is the system summary,
click save report at the left top,
in the next window at the bottom check=⓪ "short text report" after that next,you'll get to see what is in your pc

next to the "Save Report" is a button "Sensors" as well so can open the sensor window there too.

Thanks Vic,

I ended up purchasing this RAM after some research. Just need to figure out what bank slots they work in and if I'll have to disable XMP...

Just keep XMP enabled and try the slots 2+4 counted from the cpu out.
