RAM.

Not really sure what you're asking.

If you want to know how much RAM is installed on your desktop computer, click Start, right-click My Computer and click Properties. Under Computer it should show how much RAM is installed.

You can also install the Belarc Advisor that will show you how much RAM is in each slot (it's free).

Try this program. The download link is in the upper left hand
corner of the web page.

http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

Run the program, and then select the "SPD" tab. There is
a menu in there, where you can select each of the slots
on your motherboard. For example, my motherboard has four
memory slots, and so the menu shows

"Slot #1"
"Slot #2"
"Slot #3"
"Slot #4"

When you select a slot, the CPUZ program will show the contents
of the SPD chip on the DIMM. The SPD is a chip that contains
timing and identity information. It is a small serial PROM or
EEPROM.

If there is no DIMM in the slot, then the display will remain
blank. If there is a DIMM present, then you'll get a summary
of its contents.

Thx Paul, is there any other program.

In terms of general hardware identification utilities, there
is Everest (the old free edition), Sisoftware Sandra (there is a free
edition), and Belarc Advisor.

You can also visit the Crucial.com web site, and use their
"Crucial System Scanner". It will tell you something about
your RAM. Crucial is a company that makes and sells RAM, so
their tool is intended to show you what RAM would be compatible
as an upgrade.
