i need to know how much ram i have and what type it is. i've tried going to properties on "my computer" and it says i have 488 mb of ram, but not what kind. i could have sworn i paid for 512mb of ddr ram (it also says my processor is 2.39ghz and it was advertised as a 2.4). when it boots, the bios flashes all the hardware for about 1/2 a second so dont have time ot read it. if i press the delete key or whatever get to the bios setup, there is only one menu and it is in the way of all the info about my peripherals, which is sitting in the background behind it. if i close it, the computer boots into windows. is there any way to find out exactly what all my peripherals are, not just what the drivers say they are?
