Can anyone please tell me if there is an easy way of
checking what type of ram is in a computer, apart from
actually opening the computer up, taking it out and
looking at it?
I thought it might have said something in control panel
system. I'm sure I've seen it somewhere, just can't
remember where.

Thanks in advance.

Kevin

What make and model is your PC ?

Crucial.com an excellent web site that helps you identify what type of
memory your system uses and what choices you have for upgrades.
The also are generally very competitive prices.

You can use CPU-Z from http://www.cpuid.com or Or EVEREST from
http://www.lavalys.com/index.php?pag...ew=1&subpage=5
to find out the type of ram in your computer.

Free "HomeSentinal" webcam surveillance software at
http://bobday.vze.com, bottom of page.

Have him download and run on of the system scanners such as
Everest from http://www.lavalys.com/index.php?page=home or
SiSoft Sandra www.sisoft.com
Bel Arc Advisor www.belarc.com

These will scan the computer and report all the details,
from make, model and serial number of the mobo to details on
the RAM and the software installed.

These are free programs.

Well, if you don't have the PC's manual, and don't want to open
the case and look, these three utilities are quite useful:

The site that provided and supported the AID32 no longer offers it, and that
site is no longer available, as it has been taken down. The site owner(s)
announced this long ago, and it became official as of last week.

From http://www.aida32.hu/ :

* AIDA32.HU, THE WEB SITE OF AIDA32 IS CLOSED *

Lavalys Appoints Tamás Miklós as CTO and Executive Vice President of
Software Engineering Research & Development

MONTRÉAL, CANADA (April 19, 2004) -- Lavalys Consulting Group, today
officially announced that it has appointed effective January 1, 2004 former
AIDA32 project leader, Tamás Miklós to its executive management team. In his
new role of CTO and Executive Vice President of Engineering Research and
Development, Tamás will head up R&D for Lavalys including the development of
its flagship award winning EVEREST, a breakthrough technology that enables
the cost-effective delivery of network audit and change management.

Tamás has spent over nine years developing revolutionary network auditing
and administration products. Tamás has a huge recognized software
development and engineering background in the fields of network audit,
system diagnostics, change management, asset and desktop management, system
benchmarking and software licensing.

That does make it more difficult. Has he said why it won't
boot? Does he know how to boot to safe mode? Do you know
what his operating system is? Does he know about boot
disks?

Is it plugged in and the switch on the wall turned ON? No
blown fuses?
