Thanks,

Good question..
Someone needs to write a tool for this. They will be a hero. In that other OS there exists tools that can tell you everything about everything on your motherboard.
Anyhoo .. you probably want to match latencies/timing/etc if the box is that important. Sometimes that info is on the sticker - sometimes not :)

True. The Belarc Advisor works on the OS we all hate.
Mac OS X has its built-in Apple System Profiler that reports the number of RAM slots both occupied and empty. For the occupied ones, it reports what capacity module is present.
Someone already mentioned using crucial.com or ramjet.com to get info about the type of RAM and how many slots exist for a given manufacturer/motherboard.
