ram
I'm buying more ram for my computer and was wondering how I get all the info on my current ram. I use the lshw command and this is what I get:
*-bank:0 description: DIMM DRAM Synchronous physical id: 0 slot: S1 size: 512MiB width: 32 bits but I want to find out if it's DDR or DDR2, and if possible the spd without having to open the computer. Any suggestions? |
There should be a little more information there:

Do you mean like these?
Code:
Handle 0x000B, DMI type 17, 27 bytes #dmidecode |
thanks for your replies.
lazlow- i did lshw again and that is still the only info it will give me. I have to access the bios in order to get the speed. hurry_hui- the dmidecode command gave me the extra info i wanted. Handle 0x001F, DMI type 17, 27 bytes Memory Device Array Handle: 0x001E Error Information Handle: No Error Total Width: 32 bits Data Width: 32 bits Size: 512 MB Form Factor: DIMM Set: 1 Locator: S1 Bank Locator: Bank 1 Type: DRAM Type Detail: Synchronous Speed: Unknown Manufacturer: Not Specified Serial Number: Not Specified Asset Tag: Not Specified Part Number: Not Specified it's weird that it says the speed is unknown. when i go into the bios it says the memory bus speed is 667Mhz. from what i just read about the dmidecode is it gets it's info from the bios. Is the "speed", "clock" and "memory bus speed" the same thing? |
DDR tops out at 500, so my bet is that you are looking at DDR2.

I looked at it again and I must've misread. It doesn't tell me if it's ddr or ddr2. what the heck, why doesn't it work for me lol. thank you lazlow.
