How to find out what type of RAM you have in your computer!

My number one recommended place to find the type of RAM that your computer needs would be the original manual for your computer or motherboard. Now I understand that most of us probably have no clue where we last left our manuals. That is why today I am sharing with you this neat little program called System Information for Windows or SIW for short.

This program is a free download for non-commercial use. It will show you a lot of different useful information about your computer. It will also show you what type of RAM you have installed. Just scroll down to the Memory section in the left pane and it will tell you all of the information it can find about your memory.

System Information for Windows - Scan you computers hardware, memory, etc.

Option Two

If for some reason the software does not work, it should, you can give this online scanner a try. Now I would highly recommended using the SIW software first but you may also want to give this site a try. It will scan your computer for the type of memory through a web browser.
