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.
