Question this computer came with 4 gigs of memory in two chips
could it be upgraded to 2 4 gig chips

According to Crucial, the DX430 Series has 4 memory slots, with
a maximum capacity of 8 GBs, which works out to a maximum of 2 GBs
per slot.

If they're correct you should be able to upgrade by adding 2
more 2 GB chips.

According to the motherboard specs, it depends on the type of
memory used.

Memory Four 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM)
sockets
Support for DDR2 800, DDR2 667, or DDR2 533 MHz DIMMs
Support for up to 8 GB of system memory using DDR2 667 or
DDR2 533 DIMMs
Support for up to 4 GB of system memory using DDR2 800 DIMMs
Support module sizes of 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB
