Default Re: ??? RAM

If you don't know all your MB specs, it is best to just open the case and count your memory modules, open slots and pull your memory and see what size and speed memory you have. not knowing your system, some older systems used specialized memory such as ECC, some use dual channel. and some motherboards actually limit the total count of memory.
If you have a factory built system the sites listed above are great, Kingston use to have a memory calculator as well.
I just got 2GB of Corsair memory to add to my system from Newegg, it is a safe site to use and they usually have great shipping.
Before you put any memory in be sure to clean out the memory module slots and be sure not to touch the memory contacts. I always take them out, clean and re-seat them if I am doing any work on a system.
