Testing Memory

[sak]

Hey Guys I have bought some PNY memory. PC 2700 I know that each one is different cause they are the numbers on the Samsung Chips are different. I know some ppl have gotten lucky with higher grade memory. so thats why i am checking. Plus I have Dual channel. So want to get exact memory elements.

I downloaded Syssoft sandra to find out what kinda memory it is but i does not show me anywhere. it just says its PC333 but no designation as in what kinda memory it is.

am i missing something on Syssoft or is there another software i should use to know the EXACT specs of my memory.

TIA

Download AIDA32's successor (less capable, but based on the same software it seems), Everest. (Ooh, new version of it, cool.)
Under the Motherboard Section of the program is an icon called SPD. Click that - that should tell you some of what the memory stick has to say about itself.

This prog reputes to check the make, model number and type of synchronous DRAM DIMM

(Now you'll say 'what about DDR?' - I say 'Dunno - Try it')

This is a good memory tester, for when you wanna blast them chips:

AIDA32 is cool too
