[olug] Identifying RAM

[djalexander at cox.net]

Is there a way to find out how many DIMMs there are in a machine and 
what size each one is?  The way I usually get RAM info (top or 
/proc/meminfo) doesn't provide this.  I thought dmesg would show this, 
but the log is full of newer messages, pushing the boot messages out.  
Ideally there would be a utility that one could run that would profile 
all the hardware on the machine and provide a summary.  Today I am just 
interested in finding out how many DIMM slots I have open without 
opening up the box and looking.

Thanks for any and all advice,
