This information is in your motherboard manual. It will have a chart of where to put specific sized modules and in what combination, etc. But basically yes, you can add the Kingston value to the HyperX.

If you have 32 bit Windows, you cannot see or use above 4gb. For over 4gb you would need 64 bit Windows.

------------------------------ The power supply is the most important component in any computer. Without a good quality one, you usually wind up with a really expensive door stop.
