Identify hardware - The guided tour

Start > HW installed > HW type known > RAM module


Please download the utility of your choice and run it. While CTSMB will try a identification by using SMBus capabilities of the mainboard chipset, CTSPD will read information directly from the RAM module using the SPD EEPROM.

Type   Tool to use
SDRAM   c't tool CTSMB (through chipset w/ SMB)
SDRAM w/ SPD-EEPROM sample screen c't tool CTSPD

Help
SPD EEPROM is a small chip at the upper right corner of the RAM module. It stores timing
info on the chip as well as the module manufacturer ID. (SPD - serial presence detect)


SPD EEPROM data is standardized by JEDEC Solid State Technology Association.
Please refer to the full list of manufacturer IDs for more details.
