Hi Doug.

Go to www.crucial.com and run their on-line RAM scanner.

It will tell you what RAM you have installed (make, model, specs and how many sticks).

It will also indicate the maximum amount of RAM you can install and suggest makes, models and specs of suggested RAM.

Check their recommendations against your PC manual, (or manufacturer's website) for a second opinion. Bazza

You're very welcome. Bazza
