My father-in-law wants my help (as in I will be doing it) with installing some new ram into his laptop. I don't have access to the laptop yet, but I want to try to track down the type of DDR is in the laptop and what speed I can put in it. The computer is a Dell Latitude500, 1 Stick, 256 mb, 20 gig. Is there any easy way to find this out, that isn't too complicated - like not requiring him to take it apart before I get there?

Thanks. I want to try to upgrade this as soon as possible. Thank you so much.
