How do I tell how many GB a RAM stick has?
By Emma Johnson •
My old laptop broke down and now I've stripped it down to the motherboard.
I've collected all the useful items, such as the RAM sticks.
I now have got 2 sticks, one 4 GB and one 8 GB. How do I tell which is which? I want to place the 8 GB stick into my laptop.

Unless the RAM sticks keep the manufacturer label with the reference (e.g. Kingston usually uses a long reference KVR***** that includes '2G' or '8G' in it), your easiest way is to test each stick and check using your OS utilities.
