How to identify RAM without opening case

[PostmanPot]

My friend wants to upgrade a bit - namely RAM and hard drive.

Is there a way that he can check what kind of RAM he has without me having to go there or without him having to open his case?

Appreciated

You might have to google the part/serial number to find out more info, but it has all the timings and brand.

I prefer a complete report, but CPU-Z will suffice

Thanks chaps.

I just want to check whether it's DDR-400 or DDR2-400

I don't think you get DDR2400, the DDRI and DDRII slots aren't compatible.

You do get DDR2 400 iirc. Ya the physical slot is different, but he said he wanted to find out without actually opening the case.

Ja, it seems you do. I never actually saw it being sold though.

If I knew the memory was DDR 400 I'd assume DDRI though. Might be good that he checked.
