Hi.

How Do I find out what the maximum amount of RAM i can upgrade? And how do I find out what type of RAM I have, please? My PC Name is Packard Bell.

I look forward to any help.

Thank You.

Get CPU-Z from our downloads section, that will tell you what type you currently have and if you have any spare slots to add more.

Hi.

Thank You.

This is what came up when I used CPU-Z, and clicked on Memory.

Can somebody deduce this as to what type of Memory I have? The maximum Memory I can upgrade to? and what type of PC Memory is it? I am a bit new to this.

All the help would be much appreciated.

Thank You.

You have DDR2 533, 512mb in a single stick
You will have to tell me the name of your motherboard for me to be able to tell what the maximum amount of memory is it can handle

The name of my motherboard is - NEC COMPUTERS INTERNATIONAL

MODEL - P5VD2-NVM

We look forward to your prompt response.

Thank You.

there is nothing in english about that model number
I went to the NEC website, not on there...

Anything else you can tell us about the motherboard?

I think it has four memory slots, so it can probably hold up to four gigs, but XP only utilizes a max of 3gigs anyway

4 slots could yield up to 8 gigs lol
anyway where did you find info on the MB? I'm interested as my google did nothing

[SocialWarfare]

I was just reading somebodies sound problem and it happened to mention the amount of slots it had
8gigs is pretty useless in this day and age don't you think
