Comaq Deskpro - Cant find model no.- please help

allthedoyles

Hi everyone

We have a computer and want to upfrade with some RAM.

Can't go on-line to scan system through crucial , to find out exactly what type it takes .

We know that it is a Compaq Deskpro , but the label is worn , and we want to find out if it is a 600 or 800 or whatever .

Does anyone know how to find out without going on-line .

Have been in device manager , but it does not say .

To find out the type of RAM: Open the computer. Look at the RAM. It will most likely have markings. Buy similar RAM.

or copy Belarc Advisor to disc and run it on the PC?

Thanks Karoma...........I did'nt actually give you the full story.

AT the moment the computer is in Clare and and I am in Wexford .( Cant open it just yet )

This is why I ask if it is possible to find out through computer , the type of RAM installed .

I want to check how much a stick would cost me on ebay

(Assuming it's Windows) Get someone to right-click on My Computer -> Properties. It may state it there.


Otherwise,
Start menu -> All Programs -> Accessories
System Tools -> System Information
Double-click on "Hardware Resources"
Click on "Memory".


Or get them to look for a manual or CD.
