This is very easy to do on a Mac.

I’m sure there’s probably a way to do it with the Device Manager in windows.

typically if the computer came with 1 gig then they'll be two 512 sticks.

i figured it out. i have 4 slots, 2 of which have a stick of 512 each. would my best bet be to get two 1 gig sticks to fill the other two slots?

What OS? What memory types are compatible with your motherboard?

If you have a branded computer (Dell, HP, etc.), once you pull the info from CPUZ, go to Corsair's website to figure out the maximum memory your computer can support. If custom built, CPUZ should pull up the motherboard info and then go to motherboard manufacturer website to lookup.
