I want to buy new SDRAM for my pc but i don't know which type my computer has?

is there a way to know if my pc is using SDRAM or DDRAM without having to look inside my unit? oh and i want to know if it is PC-100 or PC-133.thanks.

Answers:
Though you can't be afraid to take your PC apart (which would prevent you from upgrading RAM in the first place), and taking the cover off your PC is harmless, it's much easier to find this stuff out without opening it up.

It's easy, use the program PC Wizard 2007 and it tells you as much as you'll ever want to know about the internals of your PC.

Download it, Install it, Run it.

When it's open, click the Mainboard icon (looks like a PC tower with a green arrow pointing at it) and look at the item "Physical Memory", mine says "1536MB DDR-SDRAM", but yours will say something else, my PC uses DDR SDRAM, but if you click on it, it tells you more about what kind of memory, like it says "Type: DDR-SDRAM PC-2100 (133MHz) - [DDR 266]" for my 512 set and "Type: DDR-SDRAM PC-3200 (200MHz) - [DDR-400]" for my newer, faster, 1GB stick.

It also detected that my laptop needed PC-133 SDRAM which worked perfectly when I got it.
not really don't be afraid to take your computers cover off your not going to hurt anything just pop the cover find your ram chips there should be a sticker on the chip look at the sticker take if off if you need too the sticker not your ram chip the sticker will tell you what kind of ram your computer has
There are many types of memory out there...
They won't all work with all computers...
You will need to know the make and model of your computer and look up what type and how much memory you can add.
Also most older computer only come with two memory slots and you will have to remove the memory from one slot to add your new memory..Joe
Download Belarc Advisor. It will give you a complete profile of your computer's hardware and software. But as another poster said, you will have to open your computer to install the RAM. But don't worry; you won't hurt it.
