Stu Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 You either cross-reference it based on what computer you have.. or you look at what's already in there and get some more equivalent memory.. You can use a tool like CPUID/CPU-Z to identify how many slots you've got in it and what type of RAM is installed.. but I prefer to look myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxdie Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 we cant help you unless you tell us what memory you need. Do you have a motherboard model number, or if its a whole base unit/laptop you purchased what is the model number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee_2f2f Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 if you cant figure it out caz, providing YOU take the side panel off your PC, PC worlds tech guys will look inside and tell you what ram for free... thats what I done with my Craptop.. they looked at it and said what ram was required.
