Your BIOS ought to be able to give you that information. At least, the ones I've used have. (I admit that my sample size isn't very big. One Tyan board and several ASUS boxen.) Another possibility is the lshw program. At least with lshw you won't need to reboot. :-) > Second question: Can I add a 1 GB module to the third socket or > do I need to replace the two 512 MB modules with 1 GB modules > to get to 2 GB?
