Posted by hank, Wed Sep 26 21:11:00 UTC 2007
So, someone asked if there was a way to find out which memory slots were used in a running machine without opening it using Linux. Here’s the answer:
$ sudo dmidecode | grep "Installed Size"
Installed Size: 1024 MB (Double-bank Connection)
Installed Size: Not Installed
Installed Size: 1024 MB (Double-bank Connection)
Installed Size: Not Installed
Installed Size: 64 KB
Installed Size: 2048 KB
If you just run sudo dmidecode by itself, you can find out all kinds of awesome system info.
