How to identify RAM type physically?

[Raghav Talwar]

I've got a 512 MB RAM in my system.
How can I identify which type it is? (DDR1 or 2).
Also, how can I find out which RAM my motherboard will support? (Don't have the box/ manual)

download everest home 2

It's free, just google it

It can tell most of your queries

U can also use CPU-Z

Use the scanner from crucial.com -> http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/index.aspx

It will tell you what kind of RAM you have currently installed, and also how much maximum your motherboard can support.

Note that there is a maximum limit on both total RAM which can be installed (i.e. including all slots), and also RAM in one slot.

cpuZ is a good option to benchmark chipset,ram,display,m/b etc.
