    I have 1 gig of RAM (see my sig). I want to put another stick of RAM inside to get 2 gigs.

    besides opening up the system, how can I ID the exact RAM I have so I can buy the same thing??

    thank you

    CPUz shows the brand of most types of memory and the parameters on all types of memory.

    Both are great suggestions. I suggest you go with CPUz first as its doesn't need to be installed. If CPUz tells you nothing, then go with EVEREST.

    CPU-Z is a great tool; download here:

    No install required.
