I would recommend SiSoft Sandra. It's a good program that will tell you alot of general information about your computer. Here's the link:

what if say i put 133 in a mobo which is set to 100mhz. would these progs report the memory correctly as 133 or take the default mobo setting of 100.

hi and cheers for replies

All i want to know really is, is there a way (without software or electronic memory testers etc) to physically identify a chip of 133 from 100 that has no label?
eg sticky label saying 128mb pc100

Similar too identifying buffered and unbuffered by the notches on the bottom off the chip.

This has bugged me for a long time now as im sick of asking a guy across building to test and tell me what the memory is in his flashy memory testing machine gizmo.

thanx

Each manufacturer has their own specific way on labeling their memory module for identification purposes. Here are some links that might help you with any memory questions that you migh have:
