So I built a pc a while ago and totally forgot what motherboard i put in, I need to change the Ram as mines faulty but wanted to know if the additional slots are DDR3.

I basically need to know what mboard i have without taking it all apart again as im too lazy!
Cheers All!

usually at POST when the bios screen pops up it will tell you the make and model of motherboard. Google it and get the manual and it will reveal all :)
Thats assuming it is even getting to the bios screen.

whats wrong with just reading the motherboard version from the bios splash screen no software required. Or is it not showing there?

Doesnt matter what motherboard. You only get 3 diff types of ram. SD ram, DDR, DDR2. So you gotta take out the ram and check if you have two slots, if yes you have SD ram, if only one you or DDR2, only diff is the speed. On top of the memory itself will stand what it is. If you don't understand the nums then pm them to me and I will translate. If it's SD ram you kinda screwed.
