99 out of 100 times the type of RAM memory your PC uses is covered by the
motherboard or other booklet you receive with your computer. If that doesn't
work the nice pictures on this page will help you identity the type of RAM.
Memory Module Identification

Some motherboards are very specific about the type of memory. This is
especially true for some name-brand machines like Compaq, Dell, Gateway,
etc. A lot of times they don't work with generic memory.
If it's a Pentium III or newer machine it most likely uses 184-pin DIMMs,
if it's a Pentium II or newer machine, most likely it uses 168-pin DIMMs and
if it's a first generation Pentium or older machine, it probably uses 72-pin
SIMMs,
