Opening the computer is probably the easiest way to find out, and you're
going to have to do that anyway when you install the new RAM. Another
way to find out without opening the computer is to use Everest from
http://www.lavalys.com/index.php?page=product&view=1&subpage=5. Once
installed, run it, expand Motherboard and select Chipset. Along with
other info it will show your memory slots and the amount of RAM in each
slot.
