Looking for software that will tell me what type of memory is inside my computer. I want to find out what is compatible with my computer so I can increase its memory. Any help is appreciated.

You could also go to http://www.crucial.com/ and click the Scan My System button. This will tell you what you have and how much can be added plus show compatible memory.

You have DDR2 PC2 -5100.

So you would buy DDR2 RAM with the same speed or a little higher. It would still work the same.
