Your best bet would be to use on the the memory selector tools, if im stuck i always use the one on Crucial.com
Start off with your PC Make and go from there, it normally lists ALL models, but if your unlucky and it doesnt, take the side of the case off and look on the motherboard for its model number, usually a couple of letters and some numbers, stick that in google and see what comes up!

Kingston also do the same:

Although I usually use the crucial one stated above unless it fails for one reason or another!
the corsair selector is very good. used it recently when upgrading a lappy for the gf of the time. then went and got the Kingston equivalent. sorry corsair, your rams in my main rig tho
Crucial is the best stable memory for any kind of desktop system. I recommend it
I wouldn't get too excited about Crucial, as long as the memory is a big brand name like Corsair, OCZ, Kingston etc it should be fine.Originally Posted by Metroid
Most big brands have a lifetime warranty on even their value ram now so thats something to look out for.

It is far the best internet system and the memory if you know how to choose there is no mistake, you can also use the memory selector to see if your system is compatible with the selected memory.
