Thanks for the reply..

Apart from contacting them are there any other ways to find out what is compatible.

Had this come back.

We're sorry.
Crucial currently does not have any compatible upgrades available for your particular system

If the crucial memory tool can't figure it out, we'll need to know the computer model or specific motherboard - although you posted plenty of specs, the main one used to identify the ram isn't there ;) Big system builders like Packard Bell often bury the motherboard name somewhere hard to find (if at all) in the documentation, so it might be easiest to just find the model number and we can do a google for the system specs.
