That is simple: If you are using Windows, right click on my computer on the desktop. Choose 'Properties'. You should be able to see this detail in the General tab.

There a number of ways to find the information you need.  You could open the case and jot down the make and model of your RAM modules.  If you are not comfortable opening your computer then I have 2 recommendations.  You can go to Crucial's website (http://www.crucial.com/). Crucial is one of the leading RAM makers.  On their website, you have the choice of entering the make and model of your computer and Crucial will display the type of RAM used.  Or, you can have Crucial scan your computer and identify the RAM used.  My second recommendation is to download and install a tool like Lavalys's Everest Home Edition, which can scan and display all the parts which make up your computer (i.e. cpu, motherbroad, ram, graphic card, monitor...etc.).  Everest isn't the only tool; you can use CPU-Z which does pretty much the same thing as Everest.  The download links are:\n\n1. Everest http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Everest_Home/1086844970/1\n\n2. CPU-Z\nhttp://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/CPUZ/966149377/1

I think there's a program called "MemTest" or "RamTest" or something along those lines.  Basically, look for some freeware that tests it - usually can be found on any of the "tech" sites.\n\nEdit: Yes, it is "MemTest" - I just "googled" it.  You may want to do the same.

A few different ways:\n\nhttp://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/\n\nYes it does advise you on what specific ram THEY can sell you, but it will also give you the generic specs so you can go buy anyones ram thats the same.\n\nCompaq's web site usually has the specs for their systems.\nwww.compaq.com   (now actually through HP's support)\n\nYou could also take your computer to a repair shop and they could tell you.  There would most likely be a charge for that though.

It sounds as if you need more Memory=RAM which you didn't mention how much the machine has..\ngo to http://www.crucial.com put the name and model number in the search place and they will show you the excat amount  and kind  the pc uses

you havent specified how much you have and how much it shows, normally the ram will be shared for vram(video ram) also, like if you have 128mb , shared 32mb or .... will be reduced and showed in the system properties tab, because while upgrading and all the ram wont be reduced

Check your computer's specifications...usually found online someplace if you look up the model number and make.  Sometimes it'll tell you what the maximum memory is for your computer.  It doesn't matter what sizes you put in there to make up the numbers as long as (I'm thinking) it's within your max memory.  I seen some older computers only a max of 128RAM....was time to ditch those badboys.  I'm running 512mb right now...two 256 sticks.  Computer runs great even doing videos while running other programs.

Simply add more ram.\n256 less than adequate.\n512 adequate\n1gig plus is ideal

1st do you know the type of RAM you need for your system?? DDR. SD and its speed? 2nd do you if you have an empty slot on your motherboard? if you have the right RAM and an empty slot,unscrew the ram cover and install the DIMM>

This program will tell you a lot about your motherboard and what it has on it:\n\nhttp://www.download.com/SANDRA-Lite/3000-2086_4-10451861.html?tag=lst-0-1

the processes are to heavy for the amount of RAM you have... get more RAM. x

Download the free program at http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php which will give you information on your RAM. It also does a few other things like tells you your motherboard make and CPU settings.\n\nIt would be worth running that program and checking your motherboard model as well, and then looking up the details for the motherboard. This will tell you what you can put in your computer, and not just what you already have. You may be able to put faster memory in!

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.

It would seem to me that crucial.com ofers refurbished products as well not to mention, they offer a tool to identify what type of ram you need. kahlon.com seems to be a retail site offering a broader range of PC parts. If I had to choose bettween the two of the for the sole purpose of aquiring ram it would be crucial.com .....There are many other sites as well. You can use a 3rd party system information software such as everest home to obtain the ram info. you need: http://www.majorgeeks.com/EVEREST_Free_Edition_d4181.html and then find you a deal at ebay: http://computers.ebay.com/  Good Luck!
