It totally depends on which OS is running on the computer. However if the OS is Windows 7 then one does not need to reinstall OS while upgrading RAM.

IN THAT CASES ONLY 2GB RAM OLY REQUIRD BECAUSE THEY SYSTEM WILL BE RE INSTALL ITS TO BE SIMILAR TO REBOOT.

If the new ammount of RAM is more than 3 GB and installed Windows is 32 bit than the best solution is to install 64 bit version of Windows
