    Hi all i recently bought a notebook.
    It is a Compaq Presario C502TU.

    Anyway i need to find a program that i can dl to find out what is exactly in my notebook as i want to upgrade the RAM from 512MB to 1GB.

    I need this so i can see wether there is a single stick of 512MB RAM or two 256MB sticks. I also need to find out what type of RAM to get etc.

    Thanx for any help

    CPU-Z should be able to identify the memory...

    If you want a full system info utility then try PC Wizard or Everest.
