    www.crucial.com has a model selector that will tell you what ram you need.

    Also, it's not really that hard to "open" it and look. It's typically one screw and one panel to lift up on the bottom.

    Everest Home Edition (free) or CPU-Z. Both give a lot of details.

    I have no problem tearing my notebooks apart.
    a friend of mine asked me how he could find out.
