If you want to find out what memory you need, go here and download CPUz, which is a freeware utility that gathers information from your computer about your components and can display them in an easy-to-read format. It's fantastic for finding out about your PC's components and it will tell you what type of RAM you currently have, whether it's ECC or not, and what speed it runs at. Remember that if you buy new RAM which is faster than your current memory, putting them both into your machine will cause the new, faster RAM to run at the same speed as the old RAM.
CPUz will also get information for you on your motherboard, which is important when selecting RAM. If you have and older motherboard, it probably won't support the (error checking) RAM which is very common these days.
Download CPUz, try it out and it should let you know exactly what you need.

eBuyer was mentioned on the previous page - it's best to steer clear of them as they have built up a reputation for sending out dodgy components and dragging their heels over refunds.0
