determine what type of hardware you have on the system. I remember there was a utility I could download that would give me full details of what hardware I have. I want to upgrade the ram in my desktop and my lappy.

The lappy has only 1 gig and I'd love to max it out.

The PC needs tons of love too. Thanks all.

 

system properties

 

http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/ is one of many. Sandra gives a shitload of info though...more than WHAT I KNOW TO DO WITH :O

 

but what kind of ram do I get?

 

eer correction

go to my computer and in xp there is a tab in the right pane labeled "system information" click it.

 

Thanks wilma.. My IT buddy told me about one that ended with a "z" but I forgot it.

I know HOW much ram I have, I just dont know how much I can upgrade it to and what specific ram I have to buy

 

I see that, but all it says it that its a pentium 1.6 with 1 gig of ram 797 mhz

If you just want your system ram, right click My Computer and goto properties. it's right there on the main page.

 

DAMN.. that was it. I love you guys.
