How do I detect my computer's RAM configuration?

There are several utilities that can provide that information. For instance:

  • CPU-Z
  • BlackBox
  • HWInfo

You can also use WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to find that information without any third-party utilities. Just run the following in a command prompt:

wmic MemoryChip get BankLabel, Capacity, DeviceLocator

You can also run wmic MemoryChip to show everything Windows knows about your memory modules.


I have always used the crucial system scanner at http://www.crucial.com/ It can provide for you the configuration and type of RAM you have installed.


One Windows 8 upwards...

  1. Windows Task Manager
  2. Performance tab
  3. Memory

Will give you easy access to a certain amount of info including what the OP asked for:
