Hi,

My computer is using Intel PII 450 MHz, 128 MB RAM. I wish to increase the RAM to 512 MB. I have some stupid questions:

1. Which RAM should I use?

2. How can I check the specification of the existing hardwares of my computer (e.g. frequency of CPU and RAM, etc..)?

Download that. What does it say for "FSB" (CPU tab), "Type" (Memory tab), and "Frequency" (Memory tab).

Or, if you can, just a screenshot of it would work nicely.

You'll be using PC100 DIMM
Best thing to do, is select your memory from a manufacturers site that has a selection utility, such as www.crucial.com
Select your brand of computer/motherboard, then the model, then voila...it products a list of memory tested and 100% guaranteed to work with your system.
