on Linux,
sudo dmidecode -t 17

To get a nice printout showing how much memory is installed do this (all one line):
sudo dmidecode -t 17 | awk ‘/Size:/ { if ($2!=”No”) memtotal+=$2 } BEGIN { memtotal=0 } END { print “Total memory: “memtotal” MB” }’

That *.nfo file trick is interesting, though it would have been nice to have a little warning about the whole “possibly corrupt file or unrecognized version” warning box that pops up.

Even so, a useful little thing to have.

Also try- Create a new txt file on desktop, rename it” anything.nfo- (computername.nfo) open nfo file and there you have all the info about that PC that you need. I do this on any new server I set up and leave it on the desk top. if you add memory or anything- it will update when you open it

How about using cpuz, a very nice tool. I even have repackaged it so i can run it directly from my u3 smart drive
