RAM
I have a fairly new P4 3.0Gig PC and want to upgrade my RAM from 512 to
1Gig. How can I find out what type of RAM I have (no info of actual type came with PC) as there seems so many different types to buy. Thanks G --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

RAM
Hi Greg,
Your manufacturer should be able to tell you what sort of ram your system takes. If you know the make/model specifics, go to www.crucial.com and use the wizard to determine what sort of memory is appropriate for your system. You can also download and install the free Belarc Advisor from www.belarc.com which will tell you a significant amount of data on your system. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers aka "Nutcase" MS-MVP - Win9x Windows isn't rocket science!

With a P4 3.0gig you probably have PC3200. Plenty of good PC shops in the UK. |
