How can I tell what type of CPU or RAM I have?
There is a great free little tool that you can use to find out some important information about your computer. This is a little freeware program that gives you some specifics about your computer, that you don’t have to go digging to find.
I use a program called CPUz. This program gives a wealth of information about your core system, so you know just what you have.
you can get the program here: CPUz
After installing the program, it will immedately get your system specs for you, so you can see all the important information about your system
The CPU tab will show you your processor, and the speeds that it runs at:
The Memory tab will show you the timings of your RAM and the amount that you have installed:
The SPD tab will show the size of each stick, and the type that you have. This is the information that you will need in order to go to your local computer store to purchase more.
Remember that your computer mother board might not accept certain types of RAM, and certain sizes. This means that you need to also know what type of mainboard your computer has installed as well. This information is on the Mainboard tab.
If you need help to figure out what all these numbers are, I would suggest that you print off the images that CPUz generates of your computer, and take them with you to your local computer store. The sales associates should be able to help you get the right kind of RAM for your system.
