    finding the right Memory

    HI
    A friend of mine at work would like to increase his ram.But doesnt know what he has in his machine now to match it to.would the BIOS give him the information he needs to buy the right memory stick.
    I tried looking in mine using "SISandra". Has lots of info but not that.
