I'm not sure if this is what you're after but you could try PC Wizard at CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting (http://cpuid.com)

It should give a lot of information about your computer and its components.

Crucial is good, but not without flaws. They've been wrong about my setup before.

Man, i've only got 512MB installed when I could have 4 gigs. Looks like I have some upgrading to do.
