[wellylug] Identifying Physical Memory type

[Simon Blake]

Nothing like a belated reply, but I just noticed that memtest86 does 
this pretty well - it doesn't identify actual card configuration, but it 
can differentiate between DDR333 and DDR400, for eg.

http://www.memtest86.com/

or, you can download an ISO image from 

ftp://ftp.citylink.co.nz/systemrescuecd-x86-0.2.12.iso

(type memtest from the lilo boot) 

That rescue CD is dead cool - amongst other things, it knows how to 
resize NTFS partitions.

Cheers
