True. The Belarc Advisor works on the OS we all hate.

Mac OS X has its built-in Apple System Profiler that reports the 
number of RAM slots both occupied and empty. For the occupied ones, 
it reports what capacity module is present.

Someone already mentioned using crucial.com or ramjet.com to get info 
about the type of RAM and how many slots exist for a given 
manufacturer/motherboard.
