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
