Hi
Thanks for the return posts but what I was really after is an organiser so I can have all my Favourites/Bookmarks from IE & Firefox in one spot, the ones you give me if I am not mistaken are to do with detecting duplicate bookmarks, as I said in my previous post I am using at present StorURL, it is not bad but I was curious to know if their are better ones out there.
Thanks

If you download PlainOldFavorites for Firefox, you can use one set of favorites for both IE and Firefox.

Does anyone know a program like Everest Home that will tell me what type of memory I have installed. It's been a while since I've been in there and I'm too lazy to open the case. I believe I have PC2700 but want to be sure. I remmber having a freeware program that gave me that info but...Thanks!

Quick test for memory type (also motherboard and BIOS data) is CPU-Z at: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

Free and fast.

It also tells you how many memory slots you have, populated or not.

It not only tells you the memory type, but usually the manufacturer, the part number and the serial number (if that data is in the memory chip).

I use SIW (System Information Windows), gives you the exact type and size for each slot.

Here's a sample...

Thanks for that John! it sure gives you a lot of information, not that I'd understand most of it but it helps when looking for updates for drivers etc.
