13. A storage medium on which code is stored, said code being executable by a processor and, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
-
determine a configuration of a plurality of memory modules;
determine whether the configuration satisfies full system operation; and
show a graphical representation of the configuration on a display. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method usable in conjunction with a memory subsystem having a plurality of locations in which memory devices may be installed, the method comprising:
-
initiating a request for information from each of the memory device locations;
if no information is returned from a particular location, determining that no memory device is present in that location;
determining a configuration of the memory subsystem based on any information returned from any memory devices present in the subsystem and based on the determination as to which locations do not have a memory device; and
displaying an image of the configuration. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A system, comprising:
-
a processor;
a memory subsystem coupled to said processor and adapted to accommodate a plurality of memory modules;
a display coupled to the processor; and
a means for determining whether the memory modules are installed in the memory subsystem so as to enable full system operation and for graphically displaying an image indicative of the memory modules installed in said memory subsystem. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)
