Do RAM testers exist?

[Infiltrator]

Hi There

Im just wondering if there are any small cheap devices that you can plug various ram sticks into and find out what they are, what there speeds is and if they are any good?

 

 

[emosun]

a motherboard usually does this and is the cheapest/smallest device that does this

Not that I'm aware of ... closest thing I can think of is a cheap compatible PC

I'm not aware of any, but most memory sticks will tell you speed and capacity, from there you can get a good guess at type.

 

Or if you have a system that will fit the memory into it, just check the BIOS or something.

I haven't seen a motherboard that didn't have a memory test option in BIOS. As far as a small tool that will do it for you, I don't think so.

just put them in a computer and check the BIOS, or create that device and youll probably be a millionaire

most sticks will have it labels on it with a sticker, unless that feel off or its a huge heatsink one but then maybe teh sticker is under the heatsink?
