dmidecode命令查看内存型号
目前我的电脑内存只有512M，想加根内存条。机器主板是nVidia Corporation MCP61,看了下主板说明书发现系统内存支持双通道内存技术。配置了4个DDRII DIMM插槽，支持DDRII 800/667/533内存，最大支持8G容量。
为了尝试下双通道内存技术，打算买根跟原来一样的内存条。发票的电脑配置上只写了kingston DDRII 512M。剩下的事情就是确定内存的工作频率。上网google发现有个工具dmidecode(DMI table decoder)。它可以全面的显示你系统的信息，包括bios、cpu、内存等信息。

在Memory Controller Information中，可以看到最大的内存大小是8G，支持内存种类为DIMM和SDRAM。
有四个Memory Slots。对应接下来的4个Memory Module Information。DMI type 16 (mandmidecode里面有DMI TYPES specification)的意思是 Physical Memory Array。 这里也可以看出来，最大支持内存为8G， 有4个内存设备。最后则列出具体的4个内存设备，其中发现了一个内存设备为512M，类型Type：DDR2， 工作频率Speed: 533 MHz (1.9 ns)。这个就我目前电脑上的那根内存条。
