I also hadn't heard of SoDimm before reading Jakob's post. Was talking over
the differences between laptops and desktops with someone in the support
department here (i'm in development at the moment although I tend to wander
over there as the problems are more interesting). He mentioned SoDimm and I
found the appropriate WMI class, wrote the query and did some testing. So
he certainly deserves a lot of the credit for it if it turns out to be the
solution.
