Since it's less than £11 for a 2GB RAM module, how limited is your budget?0

Are you running a 32-bit operating system?
If so, it would be a waste of time/money to have more than 4 GB of memory installed, since more than this cannot be addressed. In fact, it will probably not use more than 3 to 3¼ GB of memory.0 -

To find ram suitable for your pc I recommend using the Crucial website.
This gives an option to download a small program which analyses your pc and then advises you of various options to purchase that are designed for your particular pc.
I've used them many times and their prices are very competitive.

The question would be why would you do this? (10gb/16GB) assuming dual channel motherboard 10gb would be daft...and what are you doing to use 16GB?...nothing.0 -
