Check ram speed and type commands
Problem:
I need to know about memory RAM installed: slots, speed, etc.
Solution:
To solve it, you can use the dmidecode
command. This command works on Linux, UNIX and *BSD based computers. dmidecode
is a tool or dumping a computer’s DMI (some say SMBIOS) table contents in a human-readable format. The output contains a description of the system’s hardware components, as well as other useful pieces of information such as serial numbers and BIOS revision.
Step by step:
- Open a Terminal, type:
sudo dmidecode --type 17
sudo dmidecode -t memory
Optional: In case you need to install it:
sudo apt install dmidecode
Optional: If you want to extract/show just few fields:
sudo dmidecode --type 17 | \
awk '{if($0 ~ "^\t+Locator:") print "\n"$0; \
else if($0 ~ "Type:" || $0 ~ "Speed:" || $0 ~ "Manufacturer:") print $0 }'
