Also, if your RAM is giving you trouble, you can see its serial number and manufacturing date (week and year), as well as its maker. Not a huge difference, but still, it’s good to know that the smaller DIMM is also making things slower.
The SPD tab also lists each DIMM’s max bandwidth, so now I know that my 512MB DIMM is slowing everything down because it’s 333MHz, while my 2GB one is capable of 400MHz. That’s handy, because now I know that the only practical upgrade for this machine would be getting another 1GB or 2GB stick, but it must be a single stick (not that I’m ever going to upgrade this old Toshiba workhorse, but still, it’s nice to know). Now I know that I have a 2GB DIMM module in one slot, and a 512MB DIMM in the other. For example, I remembered that once upon a time I upgraded this laptop’s RAM – but I wasn’t really sure how I went about it. What’s great about this tab is that it lets you see memory sizes on a per-slot basis.
