dmidecode should do it.
Mmmm, lots of lovely information! Thanks!
Looking at my desktop, I can deduce that my PC has 2 slots each with 2GB in them. However, I can't tell what sort of RAM I have or that the motherboard can take. Is that just "how it is" and the Crucial memory tool relies on working out the motherboard then looking up what it takes in their own database? Or is there some other black magic going on?
I think the relevant extract from dmidecode is as below, although I may have missed something useful.
