Try ports/sysutils/dmidecode. Requires a BIOS that has a
DMI-compliant interface, though. Works perfectly fine on
most Compaq/HP ProLiant machines, for example, and displays
the population of all RAM slots in great detail, among
other things.
On a HP ProLiant DL360 G4p, it prints about 800 lines of
information, including the following:
Handle 0x1100, DMI type 17, 23 bytes.
Memory Device
Array Handle: 0x1000
Error Information Handle: Not Provided
Total Width: 72 bits
Data Width: 64 bits
Size: 512 MB
Form Factor: DIMM
Set: 1
Locator: DIMM 01
Bank Locator: Not Specified
Type: DDR
Type Detail: Synchronous
Speed: 400 MHz (2.5 ns)
Best regards
Oliver
