The best way to tell if memory will work in your computer is to look in the owner's manual that came with your computer. It should tell what kind of memory chips are compatible. If you don't have access to the owner's manual, the next best step is to go to the manufacturer's web site for your computer (for example, if your computer is a MacBook with 13.3" screen, then go to apple.com and search for your model. You should find a page that will tell which memory type is compatible with your computer. You should click on "Support, click on "Manuals" then find your computer type, and the manual will appear (in .PDF format). Then just look under adding/upgrading memory and it should tell you what kind of memory to use. Finding memory for Windows-based PCs should be a similar process.

Go to about this Mac and get the serial number. You can either get the model and serial number and call apple and ask or find it the answer on google. You can usually go up I GB and be fine. Depends on your model. My friend did it for me because I'm still learning. We went on YouTube and watched a video on it. Makes it run faster. You just need to buy the right one. You can open the back of the computer, need a Philips screw driver. The ram will come out, it's held in a button and spring. Just take old one out, put new in. Make sure you save your stuff before you do it just in case you loose your files highly unlikely. If you have more questions give me until Tuesday I will ask my friend.

PC manfacturers should publish a list of compatible RAM for each system they sell. You should contact HP if you have any doubts.

Hi Simone, I suggest that you go onto the website of crucial and run their diagnostic program; it will tell you exactly which models are compatible with your computer.

Not sure, but I went to www.crucial.com to find the specific ram for my PC!

Sylvia D, I believe it is. However, all you need to do is go to www.crucial.com and put your computer model information in and it will tell you what type of ram is compatible for your computer.

A better option would be to make an online search with the model number of your PC and find RAM chipsets supported by it. I just remembered that this one in particular is for laptops and will not work on desktop PCs.

Check with the manufacturer. Usually there is a compatible ram list for each system board.

Depends on what u got. Do a motherboard model check and look up compatible memory.

Your Mobo comes with a list of compatible ram, and you can also research this on the vendor of your mobo's website or on Kingstons Website.

I think not, because the memories are smaller laptop! have to check that your PC has slots for DDR2 800 mhz, that you verify it in "system properties"

Go to crucial.com, follow the instructions and put in your pc model number. They will tell you which ram is compatible with your pc. Then order the ram from Amazon. I have never found crucial to be wrong.

It should, but you should look up the Asus QVL (Qualified Vendor List) on their website. I've had great success using this RAM even on boards where it wasn't listed as compatible, but you should still try to be safe and look it up.

Just visit www.crucial.com. They have the Crucial Advisor tool which shows all compatible memory, when you pick your specific system off the list. There is also a System Scanner tool that will analyze your system and determine all compatible upgrades. The latter is better if you have no idea about your system specs.

Sorry not sure, but when i need to order something for our laptops i put the number in my search & it will usually tell you whether it is compatable or not.

If the ram slots are the same (open up you computer and look at the specs of existing ram sticks or Google that PC and look at ram type) then these will work. Look at the pin count and DIMM type - if this matches what your PC uses then go for it.

Ram is ram. The only difference is the size. (Desktop,laptop) so you should be fine.
