Is there any way I can detect how the memory in my computer is distributed short of opening the side of the machine and taking a look? I thought there was a way to do this from the Control Panel, but I don't remember how.
For example, my Dell Inspiron PC running Windows 7 reports that it has 2GB of RAM installed. Do I have one 2GB stick or two 1GB sticks?

You can also run
wmic MemoryChip
to show everything Windows knows about your memory modules.
