Thanks for the toolbox link.  I used to have a cribsheet like this a
long time ago (and lost it).

Doh on /proc/cpuinfo...

For memory configuration is there an equivalent which gives the hardware
info like memory speed and timing?


dmidecode is probably your best best here. Look for an entry on Physical
Memory Array to tell you max RAM the system supports (Maximum Capacity)
and number of memory sockets (Number of Devices).

You should then have a "Memory Device" entry for each socket that will
tell you if it's populated, what size the stick is (Size field for both,
value "No Module Installed" if it's empty), and speed info (Speed field,
ie on the box I'm looking at here: Speed: 266 MHz (3.8 ns))
