Just open the case and take a look. Sure it'll be slightly
more expensive to buy stuff in a store. Or, just swipe one
of the sticks of ram and (using something like a pencil so
as to limit the possibility of damage) count the individual
connectors. Also there should be some information on the
sticks of ram that tells whether it's EDO, Fast-Page or
what!
