Everest home edition from lavalys.com will tell you a lot about your system including motherboard info and current ram spec.
Crucial.com will tell you exactly what ram you need

I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

thankyou for the quick reply!! i have downloaded everest, its says i have 480 ddr sdram. does that mean i have to buy ddrsdram? also ive been to crucial already, i tried to use the wizard but for the 3rd stage i need to give my model number, but i dont know where to find it. so crucial isnt much help at the minute!

What does Everest say about your motherboard model number? With that info you should be able to use the crucial ram advisor.
