32 bit OS will only "see" and "use" 3.2 gig of 4 gig ram, so there will be .8 gig of Ram unusable by the PC.

OP needs to first research the laptop specs to find out exactly the type of Ram AND the max Ram the system board can accept.

Many older laptops may max out at 2 gig or have no Ram slots..

I love Newegg. Use their memory finder tool to see how much and what kind of memory for your laptop. You can then take that info and comparative shop.

Also, you can try site like Kingston, and use their tool. Most RAM companies have a tool you can use.
