Software to identify Evo model number?

I've got a Compaq Evo desktop sat on my desk at work which is crying out for
more memory to make it work properly (1.8GHZ P4, Windows 2000, ... 128MB)
but our IT department, like most in my experience, live in a dreamworld
where they forget that PCs are there to be used for the good of the business
that employees them, so I'm going to buy some more RAM off ebay and do it
myself. Only snag is, I've noticed how in recent years its not just a case
of the right voltage, number of pins, and speed; motherboards are picky as
to what they'll work with and what will just sit silently sit there.

Other than EVO on the outside, there's no clue to what model this is. Is
there any software that will reveal what Compaq model I'm dealing with?

First, why not enter the BIOS CMOS setup and look at the information presented
there. The BIOS setup should tell you the characteristics of the memory
installed.

Next, unplug the power cord, open up the computer and inspect it. If it has (3)
memory sockets, the memory required is undoubtedly PC133 168-pin SDRAM DIMM
memory. If it has (2) memory sockets, the memory can be PC2100 or faster
184-pin DDR DIMM memory. Either way, the memory should be non-parity,
non-registered, non-buffered. Memory voltage is not an issue.

Next, SiSoft's Sandra is claimed to be very good at finding out what is inside a
computer.

Finally, Compaq systems have a sticker usually on the top of the case. The
first characters are the model identifier. I would expect your system to be a
D310 or D510 or similar model.... Ben Myers
