Hi, I need to determine the type of RAM in the server, I could add
more. Is it a program that know what memory is currently in the
server, without it I had to disassemble? Dmidecode command output,
although the size of RAM, etc., but find out what it's slot, etc.
Interesting that (lshw) doesn't tell you what *kind* of RAM. Although
mine doesn't explicitly say DDR2.
dmidecode -t memory
It explicitly says DDR2 for my case and reports the RAM size, speed, slot
etc:
% dmidecode -t memory
# dmidecode 2.9
SMBIOS 2.5 present.

Your mobo has SMBIOS 2.5, which *might* be the key, since mine only
has v2.4, and simply says "Type: Unknown". Or maybe you sprang for
higher-quality memory...
# dmidecode 2.9
SMBIOS 2.4 present.
