Ok so you want some more RAM! You do not need to know what mobo you have to find out. Being that you have a 512 Stick already, buy another 512 stick to even it out.Note: BEFORE TOUCHING ANYTHING ON THE MOTHERBOARD OR THE MOTHERBOARD ITSELF, YOU NEED TO GROUND YOURSELF FOR STATIC ELECTRICITY, YOU CAN EASILY GROUND YOURSELF BY TOUCHING MEDAL. TOUCH YOUR PSU AND THEN PROCEED TO THE NEXT STEPS! IF YOU FAIL TO DO SO YOU CAN FRY THE WHOLE MOTHERBOARD OR WHATEVER COMPONENT YOU TOUCH! Now open the side of your case. (Make Sure Computer is off before pulling out the ram) Inside the case will be the motherboard attached to the motherboard tray. Find the RAM Stick thats sitting in the ram slot. Pull up on both of the tabs to unlock the ram from the slot. Pull out the RAM and and write down everything it says on the label and post it here. Then I will tell you what kind of ram to get and what speed. And when i say everything, I mean everything it says on that label! When your done evenly seat the ram stick in the slot and press down firmly, it will take some strength to get the stick to lock back into the slot. Once its back in put the case cover back on and attach the thumb screws and your done!
