While I don 't know a better tool than Belarc, be advised that it is 
dependent on your BIOS. So when I wanted to know if I had 1 x 512 or 2 x 
256 in my Tosh, and asked it, it came up with:

Memory Modules (c,d)

512 Megabytes Installed Memory

Slot 'JP21' is Empty
Slot 'JP21' is Empty
Slot 'JP21' has 512 MB
Slot 'JP20' is Empty

c. Memory slot contents may not add up to Installed Memory if some 
memory is not recognized by Windows.
d. Memory slot contents is reported by the motherboard BIOS. Contact 
system vendor if slot contents are wrong.

and I had to open her up to see what was really there (1 x 512, so it 
got that right).

Let's hope the Compaq BIOS does a better job for you....
