You also need to know the speed of the RAM.
There should be a speed number on there like 4200 or 5600.
You could pull the RAM you have and take it to the store with you. Just be very careful about static discharge. A small ESD hit can fry your RAM easily. Use an anti-static bag if you have one.
I believe that CPUZ can tell you the speed too.

Go with James. I was on their site yesterday, quite impressive, tells you what ram you need to upgrade, how many memory slots you got etc.
They sell ram too. I could get 2 gig for my new laptop from them for £70. Thats half the price I could get it for locally from a pc specialist and ebay. Give it a go

Depending on if you are a gamer would make you want to receive more ram.
1 gig of ram is a decent size for most people who use the computer to do email, assingments, and computer software.
2 gigs of ram is ideal or more if you could get it for gaming and will help you not to lag.
All in all if you do not do gaming the best thing to get is 1 gig for it will help you with proccessing all the data on your computer efficently and it would break your pocket.

Go to the following link, http://www.crucial.com/uk they can do an on line check which will determine which ram your motherboard supports. They will recommend the optimum amount. You can order on line and although they are not the cheapest it is worth paying for good ram. They guarantee compatibility with your motherboard and give an excellent warranty. I have used them many times and always been satisfied. Hope this helps.

I have just had the same problem and was told by other readers to log onto www.crucial.com and they will scan your computer and tell you what ram is in your computer and what amount of ram it will hold up to its max.They are very helpful and will sell you the right ram card if you wish,but of course you are under no obligation to buy from them.good luck.

Check the bus speed and buy memory that matches. PC World may be able to help you but if you feel comfortable buying online try http://newegg.com
