When upgrading their computer, many users ask questions: “What memory is on my computer? What type of memory? What is the frequency? etc. These important questions, or rather the answers to these posed questions, will help to properly upgrade your personal computer.
Instructions
Step 1
There are many ways and programs to help you check what kind of memory you have installed. You can simply open the lid of the system unit and check the information written on the memory sticks. You can also visually check the type of DDR / DDR2 / DDR3 memory and the speed of the memory modules. If you decide to upgrade, then this information will be very important to you. At the same time, you can see what kind of motherboard you have, and you can find information about it.
Step 2
You can also find a manual for the motherboard, or at least a warranty card. You can also find information about memory modules in these papers. In the manual for the motherboard, you can find out what memory limits exist on the motherboard.
Step 3
If the first two methods did not help you, or you did not find the manual for the motherboard, and you do not have enough qualifications to open the case, then you can use special software. There are a great many of these programs. There are free little programs that are designed specifically for working with memory. But such software systems are usually very expensive and cumbersome. For most users, they will only hinder than help.
Step 4
Consider the cpuz program. It can be downloaded from the Internet. It is free, weighs very little, and does not require installation. It can be run from any flash drive or floppy disk, i.e. from any external device.
Step 5
All you need to do is just double-click on the program icon and wait a few seconds while the program reads all the necessary information. After completing the work, it will give information about the motherboard and memory modules. If you need information about BIOS, microprocessor, etc., then this program will also help you with this.
