Ubuntu – How to see in Lubuntu what RAM modules I have

lubunturam

I have the latest Lubuntu installed on a laptop. How can I see how many RAM modules I have installed, and what type of RAM modules they are, without physically opening the laptop itself? I can see how much RAM I have in total, using the System Profiler and Benchmark utility, but I want to know how many modules I have and what type of modules they are.

Thanks
Samuel

One way to do this is installing lshw or lshw-gtk:

sudo apt-get install lshw-gtk

You can then run it (sudo lshw-gtk) and check your RAM entry:

As you can see in the image above, I have 2 RAM sticks installed, of 4GB each.

An other way is to use the command line version (showing partial output):

$ sudo lshw -class memory
