When i went into the dxdiag MENU, adjacent to system manufacturer and system model, it states not available.

I want to improve the ram on this computer but to that, well you guys know already.

im so confused....

I think my comps a dell cause it says right here on the sticker of authencityIt is probably a Dell in that case... You want to add RAM? How much do you have now? How much are you willing to add? How much RAM can your computer handle?

[glb]Flame[/glb]  sry if im pulling your leg, but the ram is 192. I want to improve it to 256. But i cant figure out the model of this dell.  Is there any way in finding out?http://www.active-hardware.com/english/misc/sandra.html
what is the biggest ramstick you have....and does trhe mobo support more ram?Oooo, cool little gizmo... Sadly I get a "page cannot be displayed" error when I click the download link (there another place I can get this merlin??? Could you perhaps provide a direct link to it or e-mail it to me?) .

As for upgrading your ram you will have to know what kind of motherboard you have now.

probably the easyest way to find this out is your BIOS id string; This is a bit of code that is unique to every motherboard/manufacturer. To find your BIOS id string you can use Bios wizard which can be found here:

http://www.motherboards.org/tools/downloads.html

after downloading the BIOS wizard take the BIOS id string it displays and put it in here:

http://www.motherboards.org/tools/moboidtools.html

It might not show up when you put in the whole string. If so, try little bits of it in the "Search By Partial BIOS String ID" box. THIS is important, ALWAYS check to make sure the picture/specs matches what your motherboard looks like/has. If it doesn't MATCH it's not your motherboard (DUH! lol). If it DOES match it might have a manual there or it might not. If not, go over to the manufacturers website (which you should be able to find out on the motherboards.org website from typing in your ID string) and look for your model there. Most likely there is a manual you can download.

this should get you what your looking for. If not, don't hesitate to ask here again!majorgeeks.com for sisoftsandra......or aida32.......

does you ramsticks go something like this...64/64/64I DOWNLOADED the Sandra lite program from a different link. Found out my mainboard was an Abit model BH6. I doubted the results so i took account of Gambits method to confirm it. And it turns out correct.

Thanks for your help, fellas. Never would have made it though without your intelligence.

and yes my memory slots are 64/ 64/ 64. But i guess ill replace one of them with a 256 chip. So that amounts to 384 ram. Hmmm... Im trying to figure out if you need to use PC100 or PC133 ram. WHATS your processor frequency (mghz)?Does it matter? My processor is an Intel Celeron 1300 mhz.

PC 133 is backwards compatible with PC 100. You can also get Belarc Advisor here: www.belarc.com to check the ramsticks (it's kinda like Sandra Lite, On a diet, after a fast...it's a really tiny program that is great for a quick peek at your system)Ahhh ok, didnt know all that about the ram, thnx GRant!
