[georgeriley]

just looked at a pc only has 1gb ram so thought id upgrade the guy says it takes ddr333 how do i tell the difference oh its a desktop on xp

well it most probably is ddr3, its been in use for a very long time now. So it's fairly safe to assume it is DDR3, the easiest way to check would probably be remove the module and read the sticker, otherwise something like speccy (search google and you will find it) will be able to tell you.
