if the laptop was "off the shelf" (dell, ibm, compaq, hp, etc) you can use a wizard like the one at crucial.com to find out what your PC's memory type and maximum is. they have nearly all makes & models online, you just drill down thru a series of menus to find your particular one.\n\nif the laptop was custom-built you'll have to find out the manufacturer & model number of your board and do a little research, likely at the manufacturer's website.

Do you have the original 64mb still in the computer, and you just added a 512mb card? If so, your BIOS might not recognize the additional memory; you'll have to do research to determine if this is the case.\n\nIf you swapped the cards, though, you might have a bigger problem: older computers often had limits to the amount of memory they could use, and even though sdram is now available in multi-GB amounts, your computer's bios may only allow a maximum of 64mb of it to be used.\n\nYour best bet here is to (a) make sure you've purchased compatible memory, (b) swap the cards instead of installing both (if you haven't already), and (c) check the manufacturer's site to see what the maximum memory amount recognized by the system is.

lol.. u wanna install ram in your home !! \n\njust kiddin...\n\numm.. lemme recap what I did.\n\nThe first and the foremost thing that i did was find out what model my mother board is. Who is the manufacturer of my motherboard. mine was a Intel 845GLLAD .\n\nThen, i visited the motherboard manufacturer website and found the manual for my motherboard. \n\nThen i browsed through the manuals to find what is the tested memory recommended by the manufacturer. I found that my motherboard could hold up to 2 GB... !\n\nThen, after finding out all the specifications, i went to http://www.newegg.com and placed an order for the correct RAM. \n\nThere are a couple of things that you should keep in mind, like.\nBuffered, non-buffered\nECC, non-ECC\nClass Latency\nVoltage \netc.\n\nThat is the reason, you have to refer to the motherboard manual.\n\nThen, once my memory arrived, i opened the system box, n first observed how the previous memory is installed.\n\nThe memories were in the memory slots held by 2 clips. \nI unclipped the memory which was already in there, and placed the new ones and clipped it back.. \n\nall set and done, restarted the computer.. it was working like a thunder blaze !!!!\n\nSorry if it was boring.. i just recapped what I did.. \nhope that helps

If you need to know the type of ram you have on your computer you could go to the manufacturers website of your computer and then type in the model number into the site's search box and look for something like "Product specifications" or "Product Information" and it will give you the specs on what hardware came installed on your computer.

The motherboard is the key factor in determining the ability to upgrade your system. For example if your motherboard supports only 2 memory slots at a maximum of 512MB each you can not install 2 GB of memory. You can not install a SATA disk drive unless the motherboard has SATA connectors. You can not put an AGP graphics card in the PC unless there is an AGP slot. The list goes on and on.

use any motherboard you like

No, DDRam and SDRam are two different and uncompatible types of Ram.  If your new motherboard takes DDR and you only have SDR, you will have to go out and purchase DDR.  Sorry.

Go to HP.com.On their support page you should be able to find the manual or a specs page. They will be listed by system model # or the model # of the motherboard. In either case it will give you the maximum amount of memory the system will take per memory slot. Also the memory speed. Be sure to pull the power plug before you change any internal component, especially memory. Good luck.

There is a program called aida32 that allows you to see every minor detail of all that or you can crack open your computer and on the RAM cartridge there should be a label somewhere saying what type it is and how much, for example: DDR 2GB or something along those lines. Be careful not to damage it though.
