How do I find out the clock speed of my ram

[JupiterShadow]

I figured I would need a extra 1 gb of ram to play crisis smoothly but I'm having trouble finding out the clock speed of my ram. How would I find it out?

[bja888]

Computer/Motherboard brand and model number?

[JupiterShadow]

I have no idea. EVEREST says that its Unknown.

EDIT: Just opened my case. Its a Gigabyte GA-8I945GZME-RH

I don't mean to sound that a smartass, but try googling it. More likely than not, someone has asked that question somewhere else and gotten an answer.

DDR2 533

Usually RAM has a sticker on it that tells you the specs. Just buy one of the same type.

Ya but its easier to ask someone else who has done this stuff more than a few times.

Well, he seemed to of read all the numbers well and posted them. He just needed someone to connect the dots. I understand completely.

Did I do something to piss you off 4yo?

need to put them in their place or they don't stop

I see your line of thinking. Thats why I posted the links as well. He leaned something from this I'm sure. I did not just hand the answer to him. I thought him how to get the answer. I think he will know how to find what RAM he needs in his computer next time. Its ok if he asks about what kind of video card or hard drive he needs next though. Because there is a totally different way of finding that out.
