When you boot you will see a string of numbers at the bottom left of your screen - best the push the PAUSE button when they appear because they are gone in a flash - to resume boot just press any key - write these numbers down because they are your mother board and bios numbers - preceding these numbers there should be (from memory) something like "VIA" or "ASUS" which is the manufacturer of your motherboard.\nIf for example it was "via" then goto www.via.com - if this fails type the numbers into http://www.google.com and you should get a few links.\nBut the starting place is to goto the OEM supplier of your computer because although you may have (for example a Via CPU and chipset the bios may have been changed to suite the OEM supplier - follow!\n\nDo a google search on ada32 and download it. It provides a great summary of all your hardware and chips as well as direct links to the manufacturers for driver downloads etc. Very valuable and free tool. I use it all the time.\n\nOR:\n\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/download181.html\nto download AIDA32 \n\nOR: \nBelarc \nhttp://www.belarc.com/Programs/advisor.exe

Depends on your BIOS Manufacturer - Most modern motherboards use "delete". or if you have a HP or Dell it is usually "F1", or "F2"

If your computer is a brandname like HP or Compaq or Dell or whatever go to their website and find documentation on your particular model.  That will tell you what you can use.\n\nIf your computer is not a brandname you must open it, look on the Motherboard for manufacturer and model number.  Then go to the manufacturers website to see what it can handle.

Yes - but finding out which one you can upgrade to is the real question.\n\nIf you have the manual that came with the motherboard, it should list the options you have.  If not, examine the motherboard and determine the manufacturor and model number.  Then, do a yahoo search on it any you will probably be able to find the specs.

Download a program called SiSoftware Sandra at http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=92\n It will tell you what model your motherboard is, how much memory it can use etc. If you at least know what model the motherboard is then you can look up the specs, otherwise there is no way of knowing.

First, download a program called "Belarc Advisor".  It will analyze your computer quickly and give you a report of all the hardware and software installed, and it's free.  In the report, there will be a section called "Memory Modules" that describes your existing memory.  It will also tell you what kind of motherboard you have.  \n\nNext, go to the website mwave.com.  You can find the memory you need there at a great price, and if you still don't know what you need, just call them up and give them the information from Belarc Advisor and they'll help you out.  I've had excellent service consistently from this company since about 1998.\n\nWhen your memory arrives, turn your computer off and look for a slot that has the same size and shape of circuit board as your new memory.  Install your new memory next to it.  Make sure the tabs click fully into place so you'll know it's seated all the way.\n\nThat's it!\n\nDO NOT buy your memory from a retail store like Best Buy or Staples.  They will charge you well over double what you'll pay almost anywhere online.  Also, don't pay anybody more than $45 to install it, it's a super simple task and no tech has any business charging more than the minimum hourly rate for it.

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.

try some search about your current processor type and it's compatibility with the socket on motherboard, so you'll find the type of the socket that you are using now.
