How can I find out RAM type without opening box?


Recommended Posts

I bu8ilt my own computer so long ago I can't remember exactly what type of RAM I have in there. I am pretty sure it is DDR 266 or 333 - is there a way to figure that our without opening up and reading the label? The system is kinda tucked away under a desk and I'd rather not pull it out and unplug everything. Surely there is a quick and easy bash command (can't we do everything from a command line? ;))

There is many tools/apps for this but CPU-Z is most likely the most popular and awesome one.

Another popular option is Sisoft Sandra but is way overkill for what you are asking.

EDIT: Damn Daniel beat me to it.

They have a Linux version of that now?

I guess not everyone noticed this was in the linux section :pinch:

or the stop being lazy technique ;-)

Yeah, yeah... :p

cat /proc/meminfo give you what you need?

No, it didn't, thanks though.

Ok, I'll stop being lazy, reboot, and pay attention to the post info that scrolls up the screen...

This works!

dmidecode -d /dev/mem
