BIOS information


Is it possible to find out, which motherboard I'm using ? I looked into dmesg, but couldn't find much...
is there any command ? It's because I want to know how much sdram I can put into my machine...

Unbutton the case and look. If you find any serial numbers, plug em into google.

Cool
