i want to get more ram aswell. how do i find out what type of ram it is i need or already have? DDR-RAM DDR2 SDRAM etc... and can you just buy it and stick it in and have it work or might some software not work with certain types/ amounts of ram? thanks.

I got half a gig from this lot a few months back:

Based in the UK but shipping is free, turned up in about three days I think.

They have a memory finder on the site too, it'll tell you exactly what kind you need for your PC.

you can use something like WCPUID http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002374/src/download.html to find out

edit: or at least you used to.

yah i edited my original post. older versions of wcpuid would dump out a big text file detailing everything in your pc including type of memory. not any more, for some reason.

Just dloaded that EVEREST Home edition thingy (hope there be no spyware in it!). Seems like a nice piece of kit. Very handy - good find!

SiSoftSandra used do this kinda thing too.

What do you need a scanner for? Is there someone whose head needs exploding?

just while i think of it, a better option again is cpu-z.
