My friend was looking to purchase some RAM off the internet.
We are confused on what kind he has because me and my dad built it for him but apparently we cannot find the manual for the mobo we got for it. Now, is there anyway I can find out what he has without prying open the case and looking?

If you can find it, there is a program called Belarc, it finds out everything about a computer it is operating on, otherwise ....
Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System tools -> System Information it will give you detailed information about your computer, and it will give you model numbers of your MB and chipset features and numbers. Then you can use the numbers and search for them online.

This won't give a definate answer, but it could help, how old is the comp?
Edit: http://www.simg.de/ramtest.e.html Thats a program that might work, but I haven't tested it so use at your own risk. Last edited by dscytherulez; 2004-03-03 at 09:06 PM. |

OKay, i re-iterrate again,
Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information On System summary, there will be TWO sections, System Model and System Manufacturer. Those two will tell you the model/chipset of your MB. Then go to google.com and either search for it there, or go to INtels site of your MB manufacturers website. Belarc gives you the model number, and from there you can find out . . . =p

It's more than likely DDR since it's new. I tried your way phaelon but got absolutely no info on my mobo other than its an NVIDIA, which really doesn't help. I know mine is an NFORCE2, but it won't help silver any if it doesn't give you exactly what he needs. The system information utility is a bit inconstant, especially on different PC's.
Edit: Just open the case and look at the ram. If it has 2 notches it is SDRAM if it has just 1 it is DDR. I doubt it is RDRAM. If it is RDRAM it will also have 2 notches, but they will be close together in the center. On SDRAM one notch is at the edge and one is in the middle.

It has links to the manufacturer's sites, and shows everything down to the component details. And the best bit: "For personal use: AIDA32 is a FREEWARE application, so it's free to distribute and use for any non-business purposes." |
