Just go into the auxillary mode in the beginning of the E prompt. Click on selections on the left tabs and you'll see the list.
If you need to go further back, type in a date at the options page. You shouldn't need that though. PM me if you need help man!

"E prompt"? The dude's just messing with your head, SA... like asking you if you filled out your TPS reports.
There's no real substitute for opening up the box and looking at the sticks, as far as I know.
Getting the total amount of RAM is easy, and maybe the speed... You can also boot into something called "memtest" that would fit on a thumbdrive; it would exercise all the memory looking for errors and tell you some things about it, but not serial numbers, nor the brand. That's simply not something that a memory stick needs to expose to the PC, so no one bothered to implement a standard way to do it.
Memtest is a standard option on a new RedHat (Fedora) install disk, I think.

crap, that's what I'd be looking for.redguru said:
We have a situation where a certain make of RAM type is causing problems in our controls. We currently have to open each box individually to check the RAM chip to see whether it needs to be replaced or not. This adds a lot of man hours over 100's of prepackaged controls so I thought I'd check to see if there was an easier, time and labor saving way of doing it.

it's an XP based CNC control. Bottom line is the controls with bad chips need to be segregated and reworked. Even the one's with the "good" chips need to have a memory test (similar to memtest) run over night in our "shake and bake" room before they are labeled good to go.redguru said:
Lots hours spent doing monotomous, opening and closing of controls.

E-Prompt!!!
I'll have to admit, Jnuts hit it on the head with that one. I was actually referring to a non-linear type system, so I misunderstood the question.
I stand by my answer though, because any application can be justified with a semi core tweak like that. Even in a linear drive, but I won't quibble about it. Props to Jnuts. Arggg!
