Utility to show memory info ?

Not much, obviously. If the module has a SPD chip on it, Aida32 can give you
all sorts of info such as:

Serial Number
Module Size
Module Type
Memory Speed
Module Width
Memory Voltage
Error Detection Method
Refresh rate
Highest CAS Latency

Plus a whole bunch of other info too numerous to list.

Doesn't appear to tell you the number of chips on the module,
thus chip size.

No software program can tell you more about your computer than the
computer tells it. It simply gathers and displays information already
in the computer. In the case of memory, some modules do not indicate
all the imformation that can be provided. The program can access the
BIOS and gain information from there, but if it's not somewhere in
your system, no program can create it.

Even those programs that purport to provide quantitative values must
rely on a "standard" in the computer itself for things like voltages
or CPU speeds. This is why the use of a multimeter is necessary to
obtain true PSU voltages. The crystal frequency standards in a PC are
reasonably accurate, so CPU and bus speeds are usually pretty good.

Uninstalling could remmove vital parts of your operating system,
which is worse?

I would say leaving an unknown and unverified program on your system that
exhibits the classic behaviour pattern of a Trojan installer
 
You didn't need to install the program.I just unpacked double clicked
ctspd.exe and got the memory info.Seemed to work fine. I did not use the
setup installer.-Vic

Not on mine, comes up blank version 3.93, a bit higher than you
we are talking about the free version here.

I find CPU-Z gives the best information on your memory - CAS, RAS,
Interleave etc
