I have 256MB of RAM, but the problem is I don't know what type I have, either SD, RD or DDR. Does anyone know how to check this because I'm curious to see if I should upgrade. I have winXP, which requires a lot, and I find I can't run many programs at once like I could with ME, with satisfaction.
Also, which is better RD or DDR?
Cheers.

Wow matey that will bottle neck the P4 chip like hell, problem is if you wanna upgrade to better ram you are probably going to need a new motherboard.

Hi mate if you have a pentium 4 then it is possible you can have RDram (rimm ram) DDR ram (double data rate) if you phisically look at the ram then you can find out, if it is RDram then it will have heat spreaders on it (metal plate going along the full length of it), if it is DDR or SDram then you won't, the easiest way to find out if it is DDR or SDram is to check on the Post screen (the first screen you see when you start the pc, if this screen has a logo on it then when you start up pc try pressing tab a few times).

Actually thinking about it a bit more, you probably can use DDR in INTEL machines, probably best to phone Dell about it. :$

Hmmm seing as my pc came from Dell and it's Intel Processor P4, I'm assuming that I have RD so maybe I'm ok for now, though I'll check if I can use DDR.
Thanks for that info.

EDO - 72pins
SDram - 168pins
DDR - 184pins
RDram - 184pins (I think)
If you've got an Intel Processor PIII upwards (you'll have to check though as i'm about 50% sure :D ) then you'll need RDram.
If your motherboard has a 266Mhz + rambus then you can use DDRram.
If your motherboard has a 100Mhz/133Mhz rambus and has long black slots with clips at each end, you need SDram.
same as above but with lower rambus speeds and with short white clips, you'll need EDO.
