    few method:

    1- find the full name of your motherboard and write it in google, then check for a website with inside the specific of it;


    2- open your computer, unplung a RAM and check on it what it say, usually there is wrote the model and the frequency;


    3- if you still have the manual of your computer then in it u should find every info about mobo, ram , bla bla


    4- write the name of your motheboard here and ill find it for you... If u have not it write your computer model, your processor (cpu) full name.


    there are other methods but u need have some knowledge and i doubt u have it


    let me know

    I would recommend using,

    EVEREST Free Edition 2.20

    After downloading and installing the software, Click

    Report > Report Wizzard > Next > 'Hardware Related Pages' > Next and 'HTML' Format >

    After the report has finish you should see a heading which says 'System Memory' Like So...



    Number 1: Tells us, what type of memory it is, in this case its DDR2, the test was run on a Desktop, so we know its Desktop DDR2 not to be confused with the Laptop DDR2
    Number 2: Tells us the MHZ the memory module runs at

    Hope this was abit of help.

    The method above is time consuming.

    Just follow my advice. Go to this website: http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx
    It will scan your computer to find out what is already inside your system and get recommended RAM upgrades.

    They are all different methods, looking at the ram itself in the computer might be the easiest way and it does not have to be taken out, most ram products have a little sticker thing on them saying their model number and stuff. h34r:

    LOL still the problem is not fixed

    Download CPU-Z here : http://www.filehippo.com/download_cpuz/

    It is a little utility (500k only) for check computer spec.

    Then click on memory and u should see something like: http://www.filehippo.com/screenshot/cpuz/5245_3/

    Good now u have your memory model

    Anyway your computer has the DDR-2, get the kind at @ 667 Mhz and you wont have problems. Check with CPU-Z just for be 100% sure.

    Anyway DDR-2 at 667 -_-

    Yes u need this kind of RAM

    PC5400 mean that the RAM run at 667Mhz

    DDR2 is a kind of memory, the new one are the DDR3 but your computer doesnt not support them and most of the time the DDR3 are not even faster, coz it have bigger latency.
