If you mean which kind is already in your computer, going to your start menu to Accessories and opening System Tools, then System Information gives you an overview of what kind of components your computer is utilizing. You can also go to your manufacturer's website and look up your model. As for telling the difference between the memory you're looking at outside of the computer, usually when you buy the RAM it will have DDR2 or 3 in the name of the component itself. DDR2 RAM has either 200 or 240 pins on it (the little gold metal "legs" sticking out of the component) though this is something of a bother to count. The number of pins is the same on both sides though, so if there are 100 or 120 pins on one side, it's DDR2.

Can a ram hold a virus or spyware and can you use ram from a diffefrent laptop computer?
Ram never holds anything in it after the laptop is shut down..so don't worry. As per the RAM compatibility...If that laptop's Ram type is DDR2 and your one's is DDR3 then it wont..but if they are same...They will.

What is the price of 3 GB RAM?
depends on the type. DDR2, DDR3? it gets a little more complicated than that. Also, laptop or desktop?
What is the difference between ddr2 RAM and ddr3 RAM?
DDR3 runs at higher clocks and lower voltages due to a more complex 90nm manufacturing process than DDR2 Ram. So therefore, DDR3's main difference in comparison to DDR2 is better power usage and higher clock speeds.
How many pins of ddr3 ram?
Here's what I found out for you. The DDR3 has 240 pins just like the DDR2, however, they will not be compatible, you will not be able to put a DDR3 into a DDR2 slot. The knotch on the stick of RAM is in a different location so it will not fit. So a new motherboard made for DDR3 will have to be used. They are currently out on the MAC Lite computers but not sure if Microsoft has any on the market yet. The DDR3 will use 1.5V, which is lower than the DDR2 1.8V.
Can you Mix ddr3 ram with ddr2 ram?
Posssible, but not recoomended... can cause crashes etc.
Can you use ddr3 memory with ddr2 chipset?
Unfortunately, no. DDR RAM will not work in a DDR2 motherboard, and DDR2 RAM will not work on a DDR3 motherboard. There are a few motherboards that have slots for both DDR and DDR2, so it is conceivable that there could be motherboards with slots for both DDR2 and DDR3.
