I have 2 PCs. A Laptop dv600 and an Intel dp35dp. I want a command that shows me how many slots of memory I am using, the size, speed, etc.. For the moment the size of each would be good. Maybe see if there are slot free to use.

5Thank you. After testing with dmidecore the exact answer for me was:
sudo dmidecode -t memory
Many thanks jet. Jan 4, 2011 at 18:57 -
My system told me to run the command as super user. Add 'sudo' to the start of the command. Jun 15, 2015 at 0:56
I find the following more more Human friendly and it gives the Speed, Size, Slot, Dimm Type, etc...
sudo dmidecode -t memory
If you only need to know the actual maximum memory and amount of slots in your motherboard then do the following:
sudo dmidecode -t 16
Changing 16 for 17 will give you an more detail look at each memory slot in your motherboard.
sudo lshw -class memory
worked for me.
Under
*-memory
You should see
*-bank:0
and
*-bank:1
If you have 2 slots. Only *-bank
for 1 slot.
