RE: Read SPD data from EEPROM

Thank you.

It discourages me to hear from experienced developers to indicate there is
no straight forward way to do some mundane things (which are not so mundane).

No, by far not mundane. Looks like the most streamlined solution is to get the specs for all north bridges (or Linux code for them) and have lots of chip-specific code.

Hi,

I have seen your posts about reading spd data from memory.

I am interested on this subject too. In fact, i will be satisfied if i could
at least read the number of memory modules present on one system.
Although reading the entire spd data would be better. WMI does give the
correct information all the time, as we know...

Have you discovered any way for reading spd data or the number of memory
modules on one system?

Thanks in advance!
Guilherme
