How Do I Know Which Memory to Buy?
Buying memory can seem like a scary and confusing thing. There seems to be so many choices... pin count, capacity, speed, etc. Luckily, there is a simple way to find what you need. The easiest thing to do is to find your machine type and model and plug it right into our memory configurator.
What if I don't know my model? The first place you can look is on the computer (or printer or server) itself. If you can't seem to discern any of the numbers and letters listed there, check with the manual that came with your computer. If you don't know what your manual is, try finding the serial number or service tag located near the bar code on your machine. Many of the OEM's have a place you can look this up on their website or you can call them with this information in order to find out your specific model.
What if my computer is custom built? The first thing to do is to try and find the brand and model of motherboard. Usually, you can plug this information into a memory configurator. If you still don't know this model, we have a program that will search your system for the memory specifications you need. It is called the Memory Matchmaker.
Why can't I just buy standard memory with the right specifications? Many computers use the same type of memory. For example, a Dell Dimension 4500 uses the same exact memory as an eMachines W1500. So, you'd probably wonder why you even have to choose your model. This is a way that we can insure compatibility and eliminate the guesswork for you.
