Memory Utility

I work in retail and customers are always asking me how the memory is configured on laptops. Is there a utility that will show how many slots a mother board has and how the current memory is configured that I can put on my flash drive?

 

Everest can do this

Welcome to Major Geeks. :wave
First up, it is not recommended to use your email address as your nickname.
Think of another nickname and maybe ask the moderators to change it for you.

Secondly, I don't think EVEREST is a "no-install" program, so is not really suitable for a USB stick, unless you want to install it the download on every PC/laptop you test.

An alternative might be to go onto the Net to www.crucial.com and do an on-line scan.

Most (All?) laptops have only 2 memory slots :cry and brochures should say whether 1 or 2 slots are filled.
Nowadays, on nearly all new laptops, only 1 slot is filled and 1 is spare.
No guarantees on this, though. RTFM. Bazza

As for a 'no install' program: try 'Aida32'... it looks almost exactly like Everest and it is stand alone app; ideal for a USB thumb drive (it's on mine ) It does basically everything that Everest does and you can download it right here from MG......

Thanks all I am checking Everest and Aida32 now, looks like Aida32 is a good fit.
Also thanks, bigbazza, for the screen name tip

 

You're welcome.

I believe PC-Config is available somewhere on MG. This small program will tell you all the stuff you need and has the advantage that you can also load it onto a boot floppy or boot USb stick or bootCD.

If you look in the system info downloads section you can try various info progs.

It always helps to give out links and pertinent info, if applicable.

 

I knew some geek who knows more than I would tell all, thanks Bazza.

You're welcome.
The easist way to find out if a program is available on Major Geeks is to use one of my Favourites.:major

Just substitute the name of the program you are looking for my entry of 101clips and press <enter>. Save this Search to your Favourites for future use. Bazza

Thanks for the heads up Bazza that's a useful tip.

I do think however there's something to be said for offering a choice, especially if I don't have (much) personal experience of the program I am suggesting. I tend to use commercial test programs, or rigs for many of these things and obviously can't suggest someone spend £800 on PC-Check to test his memory slots. I am trying to pick suitable MG alternatives. I have also found some very useful little utilities in the MG sections myself and I am very grateful for them. Helping is my way of puting something back.
