Is there any way I can detect how the memory in my computer is distributed short of opening the side of the machine and taking a look? I thought there was a way to do this from the Control Panel, but I don't remember how.
For example, my Dell Inspiron PC running Windows 7 reports that it has 2GB of RAM installed. Do I have one 2GB stick or two 1GB sticks?
So there are ways to do this with third-party software, but nothing prepackaged in Windows to view this sort of information? That seems odd to me, I really thought there was some way to see it in the Device Manager or something. Ah, well. – Andrew – 2012-04-16T18:02:11.607
1@Andrew Actually there is a way, using WMI. I've edited my answer to provide instructions. – Indrek – 2012-04-16T18:15:46.967
