How do I find out what sort of RAM I have?

I'm thinking of upgrading to 2 Gb of RAM to holdover my computer until I can get a new one, and seem to remember that I have to get RAM that matches the RAM I already have to upgrade. Do I need to open the computer and look at the RAM chip, or is there a setting I can check to see what sort I have? I'm running windows XP.

just download, unzip, and run.

Unfortunately while that worked fine, and revealed I do have 2 spare slots for ram a peak inside my PC revealed that some bright spark at HP design decided to mount the ram in such a way that it requires disconnecting all the wires leading to the hard disks to get at it. Hmm
My Dell has a tiny little cheapass Intel motherboard where the AGP card hangs over the RAM slots. at least yours doesn't require unseating cards to get at it.
