Message: [QUOTE="FruDaddy, post: 1096901, member: 63076"] It depends on the motherboard. You can probably go through crucial.com to find out. This will require either the Manufatcurer and model number of the computer or the board. Also, you can usually get the type of RAM directly from the manufacturers web site. But do not buy it from the manufacturer unless you know it is cheaper there. Typically, you can purchase RAM from Crucial for significantly less than you would pay for the extra when having a machine built. I know this is true with Dell, and they use the exact same RAM that Crucial sells. Also, if your machine is a laptop, you are probably using shared memory, which means that part of the 512 is being used by the video card. Lastly, before ordering more RAM, you should take a quick look inside to make sure that there is an available slot. If there is no room, you will have to buy an even larger stick, and replace what is already there. [/QUOTE]
