Memory slot and device information.

Is there a command to tell what memory slots are being used without having to open up the box and look? Also, is there a command to tell how much memory is in each slot?

Nope, not AFIK.

If you reboot your PC it should tell you in the BIOS POST information which banks are in use. It at least saves you from having to open it up

If you've got lmsensors installed then you could run a programme called xsensors... that seems to work with me. I don't know what it reads from to find out this information, and I'm not at a Linux box to find out.
