Unless you have a custom built motherboard, it can only use one kind of Random Access Memory. If there are two kinds of slots for memory, the ones that have boards in them are the ones that are being used. If you put memory in both slots, usually the computer will not boot. DDR RAM is most likely what you have, and you can get a better idea of how much there is by watching the boot routine when the computer is first turned on. If you do not see such a routine run, try pressing the 'delete' key repeatedly right after turning on the computer. It should enter the 'setup' routine if you do so. In the setup routine, you can select what boot routines will be run. Unselect quick boot, if it is selected, and exit. The computer will automatically reboot, and should display the amount of memory detected, the type of BIOS, the number and type of drives detected, etcetera.ddr ram is faster.
