Re: How can I tell if my computer's motherboard is DDR2 compatible?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

That is a COOL program. I've seen stats programs before, but this has just opened a Pandora's box for me. Thanks for the lead. Now I just have to sell the idea to the other half. :-)

I want to upgrade the RAM in my computer to make it faster, and I am
looking at buying two of these: http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4142181

It says on that page, "DDR2 is the next generation of DDR memory. DDR2
memory features faster speeds, greater bandwidth, lower power
consumption and enhanced thermal performance. Boost the performance of
your PC. PNY memory Upgrades will prove to be an outstanding value now
and in the future. Although DDR2 modules are the same physical
dimension as DDR modules, the plug-in connector configuration is
different and as such DDR2 modules are NOT compatible with PCS
requiring DDR modules."

How can I tell if my computer will work with this? The computer is a
Dell Dimension 4700C bought in December 2004, and currently has 1GB of
RAM. I would prefer not to take my computer apart to check this.

Download CPU-Z from cpuid.com. It will tell you everything about
your RAM.
