I've got a 512 MB RAM in my system.
How can I identify which type it is? (DDR1 or 2).
Also, how can I find out which RAM my motherboard will support? (Don't have the box/ manual)

Use the scanner from crucial.com -> *www.crucial.com/systemscanner/index.aspx

It will tell you what kind of RAM you have currently installed, and also how much maximum your motherboard can support.

Note that there is a maximum limit on both total RAM which can be installed (i.e. including all slots), and also RAM in one slot.

cpuZ is a good option to benchmark chipset,ram,display,m/b etc.
