Last night I found a useful tool from Crucial Memory which neatly scans your system (PC or Mac) to check what kind of memory it uses / requires. I was surprised at how quickly it ran and it shows you in detail, how many ram slots you have, what memory is currently in each slot, and how much can physically be added. Of course the results page does highly recommend crucial products (no surprise there), however the information given is more than enough to go and find your ram elsewhere if you wanted. Here’s the link, it will run as a browser plug-in OR a separate application download ( 220kb ) with results displayed “in browser”.
