I'm sure most of you know what it is and use it...

But for some reason, it no longer shows me any memory info.

I just put in two 1GB sticks of Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 to replace my XMS2 DDR2 800. CPU-Z worked fine with my old memory and I was able to get all the info but doesn't tell me anything besides memory amount with the Ballistix.

I'm not sure why either... I downloaded another app but it's a 14 day trial.

BTW, these Ballistix kick ass. I'm running them at 800 at 4-4-4-12 2T @ 1.8V! I got it up to 880 4-4-4-12 2T @ 1.85V (:hot:) which is great since my mobo can only feed 1.95V to my DIMMs. So this means I can actually OC my memory some now! I went back to stock for the moment since I had to clean up my main HD and do a fresh install of XP.

I don't know if this is what you're looking for as I haven't used this software in a long time to remember specifics on what they did in detail, but here's a list of some that I remember from ones I had contact with a few years ago.

SiSoft Sandra (http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/downloads/2129001/sisoft-sandra-lite-2005?vnu_lt=vnu_art_related_articles)
PC Wizard (http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php)
SpeedFan (http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php)
Belarc Advisor (http://www.belarc.com/)
Everest Home (http://www.lavalys.com/products.php?lang=en) (Seems to no longer be free but older versions (http://oldversion.com/program.php?n=everesthome) that are free can be found)
