Once upon a time, somebody at GTG here provided a link to a program/utility that ran a diagnostic on the RAM in my computer and identified the type of RAM I could run and the maximum RAM I could run. Anybody know what that program might be?

Hi konakula29er,

The one I know is not really a program but an online scanner, check out Crucial System Scanner Tool.

If you're talking about your P4 machine, then it supports up to 2gigs of ram (unvalidated)... HERE are the specs. Since it originally had a 400MHZ CPU, I'm going to guess it currently has 266Mhz ram modules, but you can download CPU-Z and see if it can identify the ram (SPD tab).

Not this time buddy. Actually looking at my step-son's computer. He has 512MB RAM and wants to max it out. I used crucial before to determine the amount and type of RAM for my computer. Just couldn't remember the dang website. I maxed out the RAM on my computer before upgrading the processor. It is 333MHz. Makes you salivate when you see DDR3 RAM 1866MHz.
