Is there a way to tell through operating system how many slots are being occupied by memory without opening up the computer?
(It’s a PowerEdge 2650 with Windows 2003 Server)
I would prefer not to install 3rd party software because it makes the system unstable & hang up (I tried the utility at crucial.com)
Re: memory question
In Linux u can do dmesg |grep BIOS-e820 (if not found in current message file, try older ones)
In Solaris prtdiag prints this info.
In HP-UX you can use cstm (in there, map & then select memory & info, il) to print details.
In Windows, you drink coffee from Nescafe Coffee machine & dream if OS would ever come with something like that :) (I am sure there is nothing in OS to do like that, unless u can find something useful in Event Log, try to look there).
You may end up installing third party software in the end anyway.
Re: memory question
I have drank coffee several times but still haven't come across the place in Windows 2k3 to find this info.
Moreover, w2k3 is missing "System Information" under Computer Managment console which was available in w2k server. Although that didn't give info about occupied slots, but I think one was able to deduce from info provided in there.
Re: memory question
Use this utility. It’ll tell u what u have. Nothing to install, just run it.
