Hiya all - I've got a very basic HP Compaq dx2000 Minitower with 256k RAM and what to upgrade to 512 or higher, how do I figure out what kind of RAM is compatiable (so I can go on TradeMe - LOL)? Thanks for any help you can offer, you've never let me down before :)

I normally use:

www.oempcworld.com

They've got both information online + automatic system checkers to detect your memory type.

What about this: http://configurator.oempcworld.com/result.asp?mn=Business+Desktop+dx2000+Microtower&modelid=43367

You just have to select manufacturer and model to find it.

To find what memory you currently have on your system, use CPUZ.
