how to check the type of ram without opening the laptop using CMD

This time I will share a short tutorial on how to get some information about the RAM on our computer, including the type of Ram, size, etc. using CMD..

 

You probably already know how to see our memory or ram size via dxdiag(box1) or via task manager(box2) on the taskbar as shown below

laptop ram size

Like the picture above, usually the information available is only the amount of memory from our ram (box3), this is quite problematic if we want to know the type of our ram for example DDR3 or DDR4.

we need to know our ram type if we want to buy new ram to add memory or just upgrade so there are no errors.

 

The usual and easiest way is to look directly at the ram in our computer components, if we use a PC this method is easy but if we use a laptop, we will have a little trouble because we have to remove the back cover if we are not careful this way will cause problems.

 

 

That's why I made a tutorial this time, let's just start by opening CMD (command prompt) via the start menu or windows run.


After CMD is open, then you paste or retype the command (box1) below.

 

  • wmic MemoryChip get Capacity, MemoryType, Model, InstallDate, Speed, Tag

 

After you enter, you can see that information will appear as below 


Okay, that's how to get information about our ram on our computer. Apart from the above command, you can also ask for SKU information, serial number, description, etc. What you can read and look for on the microsoft site via this link #L information about the wmic memory chip command.

 

Here I will only provide an explanation of the command that I demonstrated above.

 

Capacity           the total amount of RAM capacity one by one is calculated in units of bytes.

MemoryType  this data is what we are looking for, that is data about the type of RAM used, the data presented will be in the form of numbers that represent information according to these numbers,

0 = Unknown

1 = Other

2 = DRAM

3 = Synchronous DRAM

4 = Cache DRAM

5 = EDO

6 = EDRAM

7 = VRAM

8 = SRAM

9 = RAM

10 = ROM

11 = Flash

12 = EEPROM

13 = FEPROM

14 = EPROM

15 = CDRAM

16 = 3DRAM

17 = SDRAM

18 = SGRAM

19 = RDRAM

20 = DDR

21 = DDR2

22 = DDR2 FB-DIMM

24 = DDR3

25 = FBD2

Model           model or brand of the ram

Instaldate    the first time the ram was installed

Speed           RAM speed, in megahertz(MHz).

Tag                Is data about the socket or slot where the RAM is installed.

 

 

Alright, here's the tutorial this time, if you want to get another command, please read the Microsoft document via the link above, I hope it's useful, thank you
