Your motherboard in your PC determines what RAM standard your PC can handle. You can usually find this information on the manufactures website or try a Google search of the make and model of the PC.

Further, most PCs can run any brand of ram as long as the memory standard matches what the system uses.

The Operating System, Motherboard Slots, and BIOS will determine the maximum RAM a system can recognize.
