Not really sure what you're asking.

 

If you want to know how much RAM is installed on your desktop computer, click Start, right-click My Computer and click Properties. Under Computer it should show how much RAM is installed.

 

You can also install the Belarc Advisor that will show you how much RAM is in each slot (it's free).

Try this program. The download link is in the upper left hand

corner of the web page.

 

http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

 

Run the program, and then select the "SPD" tab. There is

a menu in there, where you can select each of the slots

on your motherboard. For example, my motherboard has four

memory slots, and so the menu shows

 

"Slot #1"

"Slot #2"

"Slot #3"

"Slot #4"

 

When you select a slot, the CPUZ program will show the contents

of the SPD chip on the DIMM. The SPD is a chip that contains

timing and identity information. It is a small serial PROM or

EEPROM.

 

If there is no DIMM in the slot, then the display will remain

blank. If there is a DIMM present, then you'll get a summary

of its contents.

In terms of general hardware identification utilities, there

is Everest (the old free edition), Sisoftware Sandra (there is a free

edition), and Belarc Advisor.

 

You can also visit the Crucial.com web site, and use their

"Crucial System Scanner". It will tell you something about

your RAM. Crucial is a company that makes and sells RAM, so

their tool is intended to show you what RAM would be compatible

as an upgrade.
