I didn't do my own install of my RAM this time so I'm not sure short of opening my case and looking.

Any other way to figure this out?

I'm running a Intel Quad Core Q6700 with Vista 64 and currently 4X1 sticks of RAM (Which pisses me off cause now I need to buy an entire new 8GB if I upgrade)

During POST, when your computer is booting, it should tell you. You may have to hit the Pause key on your keyboard to be able to read it. Otherwise just pop your case and look at the DIMM. It should say on it.

I use Aida32 ('http://www.download.com/AIDA32/3000-2094_4-10129233.html?tag=mncol') for my diagnostic needs.
