How to find RAM size and RAM type in Windows

Hello all, I was trying to increase RAM memory in my laptop and was not aware of what RAM type my laptop supports. So I took help from Google Search and here is my finding....

steps:
1. go to command console in Windows by pressing windows logo + R, type 'cmd' and then press enter

2. copy paste this command on console and press enter
wmic MemoryChip get BankLabel, Capacity, MemoryType, TypeDetail, Speed

3. this returned following on my laptop
BankLabel  Capacity    MemoryType  Speed  TypeDetail
Bank 0     2147483648   24                   20307    4

so my RAM capacity is 2 GB [2147483648/1024*1024 = 2048 i.e. 2 GB]
Memory Type is given as 24 which represents DDR3

here is the reference:
DDR (20)
DDR2 (21)
DDR2 (21)
DDR2 FB-DIMM (22)
DDR3 (24)

I hope this will be useful to you if you too are looking for similar information...
