CPU: you can find the software that 帅哥 mentioned on the website of INTEL. It will give you the original frequency and other features of that CPU.
RAM: I don't know exactly if there is a sotware to test it. However, I think for most brands of DDR ram other than Hynix there are almost no remarked RAMs especially in CANADA because they are all in the retail packges. What I recommend is Kingston or Crucial. If you have money , go for Corsair(it's about 30% more expensive and I don't think you can find it in Ottawa).
Did I answer your question? I'll be back home in 2 hours and type chinese if you have futher ????.
