System Information for Windows Vista

Whenever I buy a new computer, I make sure I check all the hardware devices as well as verify on the CMOS and operating system. In Windows Vista, you have what we call the “System Information” which tells you information on the memory chip that is installed in your computer.

Below are the information you would get from this module:
1. Location
2. Maximum Capacity
3. Memory slots
4. Error Correction
5. Use
6. Device locator
7. Manufacturer
8. Serial number
9. Capacity
10. Memory Type
11. Speed
12. Data Width
13. Form Factor
14. Total Width

The above are some of the information that should be more than enough when checking the hardware memory in your box. Make sure you visit these items before finally purchasing your computer.
