How to find out capacity and type of RAM in linux

**rado3105** · June 22nd, 2010

Hi, is there any command to find out capacity of RAM and frequency, or more?

Code:

sudo lshw -C memory

There are also several GUI tools, such as hardinfo and sysinfo.

lshw is awesome. I usually do something like:

Code:

sudo lshw > hardware.txt

then

Code:

gedit hardware.txt

It will give you a lot of info on the system--not just the ram.

Look in the BIOS for that information.
