I have an old computer with just 2gb RAM, where to find if it supports RAM expansion and what configuration.

Any reliable source or if you know it for this processor.

Intel(R) Core 2 Duo

E7500 @ 2.93GHz

TIA

Use CPU-Z software to find out the clock speed and generation of RAM. After that, you can buy RAM of the same configuration no matter which brand you choose.

It will also show if there are any more memory slots available or not.

I had opened the cpu, there are couple of empty RAM slots but i think there must be a limit of max memory that we can expand, right?

Always check with Intel sites to know the detailed specifications:

Here the max bus speed is 1066 MHz with a LGA775 socket MB, that can accomodate DDR2 DDR3 ram only (which operates below 1066 MHz) and that calculates the total computing power.

No, this seems to be DDR3 one of 2GB and from 1333 MHz family.

PS: You have to go for low capacity DDR3 as it can't accommodate the higher ones. Sorry for the confusion, now I have stood corrected my previous reply.
