This is not something you install, you enable it via the command prompt. (It doesn't need to be enabled unless someone tells you to.) Whatever you installed, uninstall it.

I have used this in the past. Crucial System Scanner | Memory Upgrade Scanner | Crucial It's obviously going to recommend Crucial brand but you can get any brand you want so long as you match the specs recommended.

Hi!

Unfortunately, the specifications don't show the max capacity for each slot.
Math suggests it is 4gb.
For various reasons, even two 8gb banks could work; but this is not 100% certain.
Hence I suggest you to search a 4 x 4GB kit (16GB in total).

I found this one for you: Corsair DDR3 16 GB Kit (4x4GB) RAM memoria de trabajo - 1333MHz CMV4GX3M1A1333C9 | eBay

Hmm.How to make sure about that?How to check that max capacity?
And does it matter if its 2x8Gb or 4x4GB?Is there are any real difference in performance?

And what about the Hrtz - 1333 vs 1600 and the LC - 9 vs 11.There are combos with 1333 with LC11 and 1600 with LC9,and that confuses me.
I want the maximum possible

I found another redditt thread where a guy (computix) said: "For nearly all 1156 boards your 4 GB modules need to have 16 chips, 8 on each side. Only a handful of 1156 boards support 4 GB modules with only 8 chips (basically boards with a comparatively new BIOS)."

Therefore, just to be sure the RAM will work, I made another search for you.
Your CPU supports up to 1333MHz, so I didn't search for 1666MHz DRAMs.
The previous RAM sticks I found for you were "single sided".
This time the RAM kit is used instead of new, but it's 16GB (4 x 4GB, double sided, dual rank, 16 chips per stick) DDR-1333, PC3-10600: Memoria RAM KINGSTON KVR1333D3N9/4G DIMM DDR3 4Gb DDR3-1333 PC3-10600U | eBay
(You must select 4 in the quantity; Euro 61.20; user: bcncomponentes, since 2006, 99.4% positive feedbacks)

Other options:

Kingston KVR 4 GB (1x4 GB) KVR1333D3N9/4G DDR3-1333 PC3-10600 RAM perfil bajo (#2 | eBay
(Low profile sticks!
You must select 4 in the quantity; Euro 37.90 <--- but you can make an offer!; user: hardware_galaxy, since july 2013, 99.6% positive feedbacks)

Well than,i guess that's why the slots are 4 - since each one supports up to 4GB.So to reach the maximum capacity of 16GB you need 4x4GB

Thanks a lot for the information

Please do not close the thread,i would like to update it when i have the RAM

I added (in the sixth post) two other options, a little less expensive than the first one.

Thanks
I found some for 5€ each and 20€ total
Anyway,recently i talked with my PC maintenance dude and he told me the ram wont make much difference since my video is very low - just 1 GB
So now i am also looking for some 4GB video card compatible with my system
