What type of Ram do I have?

IS there a way to find out what RAM i'm using?

It's 512MB, DDR, but not sure what speed?
Other than pulling it out, how do i know?

Thanks in advance.

If you have a brand name computer, then you can select the manufacture and
take it from there.

Pulling it out is the best way, though. Any RAM you buy MUST exactly match
what's printed on your existing card(s). You can't mix PC100 with PC133,
buffered with non buffered, etc.

Not really true overall. It doesn't have to be an exact match.
You cannot mix ECC with non-ECC.
You cannot mix DDR with SDram.
You ususally can mix SDram Cl-2 with Cl-3.
If you are only running a FSB of 100Mhz, you can usually mix PC100 with PC133.

Your statement that "Any RAM you buy MUST exactly match
what's printed on your existing card(s)" is not at all true.

Your knowledge about ram almost equals your knowledge about Zone Alarm.
Please don't advise on what you have no factual understanding of.

You had to post twice to make that pointless point?

I thought it was 'pointed' right at you.
