Subject: [gentoo-user]  Ram specifics  installed?

Hello,

dmesg and /proc/meminfo do not reveal much useful information, 
to determine how many simm modules a machine has installed.

So I tried lshw:

     *-memory
          description: System Memory
          physical id: 28
          slot: System board or motherboard
          size: 512MB
          capacity: 3GB
        *-bank:0
             description: DIMM DRAM Synchronous [empty]
             physical id: 0
             slot: DDR 1
        *-bank:1
             description: DIMM DRAM Synchronous [empty]
             physical id: 1
             slot: DDR 2
        *-bank:2
             description: DIMM DRAM Synchronous
             physical id: 2
             slot: DDR 3
             size: 512MB
             width: 64 bits

It looks pretty reliable. Are there any other tools for physically 
discovering the installed memory (simm etc) in a PC? I'd really be 
looking for the speed, type,
etc sort of information, so I can order some more compatible ram, without
opening up the case or looking at old invoices....

Ideas or other tools are of interest?


James
