Terrence,

The first method I would choose is go onto
their web site and look up the model number of
your compter for the information. You didn't say
what the exact model number was.

Another method is look at screen when the BIOS is
first booting up. Many boot up screens will ID as to
whether the memory used is Fast Page or EDO. You could
then use the same type memory (but a larger size, 8 or 16 MB
each SIMM) for a replacement.

As a rule, non parity memory should work, unless the
computer uses a 486 CPU. They usually prefer parity
memory. Some (but not most) computers will use either
type of memory.
