Is there any way to check which kind of RAM my computer uses without opening it up?

Question

I would like to check which type of RAM my computer uses before I order an upgrade. I'm fairly sure its DDR2 but I would like to double check this.

Is there any way to check this in Windows XP without opening the case up and looking?

EDIT The content police seem to have gotten the wrong end of the stick, I was looking for a piece of software or a command that would allow me to check this. I feel that this makes this question perfectly valid for StackOverflow and of interest to other programmers.

Solution 1

CPU-Z can tell you. On the SPD tab you can view the DIMM specific information

Solution 2

If it's a standard, vanilla box, then head over to Crucial and use their memory selector tool.
