Is there an easy way of finding out information about the hardware in my computer? I would like to know how much ram I have for a start and also what type? Basically so I can go to PC world and ask for some! Is it expensive?
Thanks.

Claire, buy yourself a 512mb module, PC2100, this is what your motherboard supports. and make sure its DDR 133/266
