Indeed; it shows the values being used. I read that CPU-Z works in DOS, but

Aye, thanks. I did d/l Bart's PE the other night, gonna have to put it
together and do some poking around with it.

In the meantime, I ordered a pair of the Crucial Ballistix (512 x 2) sticks,
so I'll see how those do when they arrive.
