Hello Everyone!

I have a question that I hope to get some feedback on. I have a Gateway E-3600 Computer that has only 128Mg of memory installed on it and I'm wanting to add a memory module a friend gave me when he upgraded his memory. My System specs on my Gateway are at the bottom under my signature so I won't repeat them here.

How do I know if the memory I want to install in my system is compatible with my system? The memory modules have the following written on them:

Toshiba 09474A
9723WAD
M'SIA
TC5117405CSJ-60

I've not opened up my case yet to look at the existing memory module as I wanted to see if there was a place online I could compare the Toshiba memory with my system for compatibility.
I've never added memory before but I've read up on it and looks like something I can do. LOL

One more question. I've read about a person needing to buy Anti-Static equipment before working on the insides of a system. Is there a way to get rid of the Static electricity without buying this stuff?

Thanks for all and any advice and help! I appreciate it and have always been steered in the right direction from you good people!

Have A Great Day!
