Buying RAM

[KingPing_NOR]

Where can i see what kind of RAM i have? since i have to buy the same type as i have, right?

I need to know the RAM type and something with nummbers between 2100 and 5400 or similar. I need to know all essential things for buying same type of ram that o already have. In system it only says 256 MB RAM.
And im planing on buying a 500 MB RAM chip.


Im to lazy to take the ram chip out and look(to many cables in the way) and since there are so many nice people here i thought i'd ask :angel:

Check your mobos site to see what it can support ...or simply find your mobo on an online shop and it should tell you

Aren't you going to replace it all ?

You should keep all your ram the same make/size.

Just download SiSoft Sandra (such a useful program) run the memory tests and it will tell you all you need to know about your ram.

Then buy stuff with the same specs.

haha kingpin i like your avatar, should have made him do the pelvist thrust faster...but anyways try to get the same type of ram.

if u have a 400 mhz and a some other type of slower mhz i think it will run on the slower mhz

CPU-Z will tell you what type of ram you have, to include the brand, speed, latencies, etc. Try to get ram that has identical specs.
