[Leica] OT - how can I determine my PC's memory?

[jhnichols at bellsouth.net (Jim Nichols)]

Hoppy & Jeffery,

I have some older memory sticks in the closet, removed from a couple of Dell 
Pentium II machines that were salvaged.  If you can identify what you need, 
I might be able to furnish something that would work.
