    Download and run Sisoft Sandra. You can get the info you're looking for from there.

    Sandra will indeed tell you lots of info.

    As well, if you still have Everest Home Edition, that works as well :)

    Well, I just read something interesting...

    Apparently, while the chipset's system bus supports up to 667DDR2, the soldered on 512mb of ram is 533DDR2, which limits the speed of any ram installed in the upgradable dimm socket. Still in love with the notebook, and it isn't like that extra 100mhz or so would be a huge performance boost, but...

    Jesus christ, Asus. :rolleyes:

    It's just sodder... heat it up, pull it out... throw a Gig 677 in its place and your in business.


    (Please don't try this at home ;) )

    For some reason, I have a feeling that would void my warranty.
