How can I tell what memory my computer has inside without opening it up?

Lunarsight asked:


I know how much memory I have [2 Gigabytes]. However, I’m curious how this 2 Gigabytes is broken down per memory chip [2 chips with 1G each?]. Also, I’m curious how much space I have to potentially add more memory.

Is there a way to determine this within Windows XP, without having to pop the computer open? (I couldn’t find anything in System Properties that gave this info.)

    Just run a simple test at crucial.com

    You can find out what kind of ram (memory) your computer needs at and it will automatically test your system and tell you what you need and have in the computer (each slot).

    You can get cheap memory at or

    The easiest way is to go to the start menu
    Right click on My computer
    Go down to Properties and left click
    This will tell you your type of precessor and how much memory (RAM) your computer has.
    Hope this helps :)
