    Just wondering how I figure out what type of RAM my Aspire 5100 has, so I can go looking for what type to buy. I'm assuming that I can find out somewhere in Vista but didn't want to overlook a minor detail that might make me get the wrong thing. Thanks.

    Try downloading CPU-Z.
    Goto the Memory and SPD tab.
