You will find many different applications to check the memory of your computer. One way you can do it is by using an application known as MemTest. This program checks computer memory for any defects and then shows the speed of the processor. It also shows that type of memory it is analyzing. This is an efficient tool, which is specially fashioned for checking laptop computer speeds.

To start with, you will need to burn the application on a CD drive. When you are done burning it, this CD becomes a bootable disk. You can boot your computer with this disk and you are able to use it.

No special configurations are necessary. The disk will automatically analyze the disk for any faults and the memory is shown on the upper left corner of the screen.

So, proceed this way. Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System. You will find the required information about memory, your Windows type and the speed of your processor. Supposing you haven’t installed any operating system on your computer yet, even then you could use MemTest or UBCD4Win.

You could also get the memory modules from within your laptop computer and then check out the manufacturer’s labels that are printed on them. But, do not count on this too much, because the labels may not always be there. And, even if the labels are there, it is not necessary that you will always find the memory printed on them. For that, you will require to find the capacity of one memory chip and then use a little math to multiply it with the total number of memory modules that you have.

This application can also help you to find the RAM amount when your computer is getting booted. For a few seconds only, a screen will appear that shows what memory your computer has. This happens immediately after you power on your computer.

Using MemTest

The first thing to do is to download and install the software application. Since this file is significantly large, you will find it archived in an .iso format; you will need to open it.

Then, burn a CD with it using Nero or any similar application. Do not configure or adjust anything just yet. You have to only launch the file and it will get burned onto the CD.

The third thins is to boot your computer from the disk drive that contains this burned disk. The proper way to do this is by entering into the BIOS settings and choosing the first bootable device as the CD that you have recently burned.

Now, put the CD into the specified drive and command your computer to restart.

The rest will continue on autopilot. Allow the application at least an hour, within which time it will conduct all the tests it wants to perform on your computer. It will find out about the speed of your processor, the speed of the RAM and what type it is, the speed of the bus and the cache on your computer’s processor.

You will get a nice message detailing all this information. If any kind of fault is found, such as a defective RAM, a warning in red will be displayed.
