How can I find out the speed of my RAM, and the interface that it uses?
I figured there would be a terminal command along the lines of:

sysinfo -ram

It does seem difficult to find out these things on the world wide web.

Thanks. Here is what I tried

dmidecode

bash: dmidecode: command not found

and apt-get install dmidecode is not found

Synaptic says the package is installed

I think you need to run it as root. I just tried it as user on FC2, and got a
permission denied, but su'ing to root, and running dmidecode gives all the
output.

That just means that it's not visible to non-privileged users.

it's probably in /usr/sbin which ordinary users don't usually have in path.
