    What Ram
    « on: September 06, 2017, 04:39:13 PM »
    Hi everyone,

    So I need to upgrade my ram for editing purposes, I have a cheap motherboard which I got a while ago from a friend, it is a gigabyte one and I can't seem to find the model
    number to know what ram is compatible for my pc.
    I have tried looking on the actual motherboard itself, and have used system information utility, and have had no luck with either.
    Is there any other places I can check to see for my model?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Mark.

    the good news is it will be on the motherboard, and as you are finding, the bad news is they can be tricky to find.
    if you have an add-on graphics card, it maybe hiding under that.


    being Gigabyte, it probably starts with GA-....


    if no luck, take a snapshot and post that, someone here may be able to spot it.


    if you haven't already, get Speccy from here; https://www.piriform.com/speccy/builds
    it should show the motherboard specs.
