Ubuntu Check RAM Memory Chip Speed and Specification From Within a Linux System

To check the speed and specification of the RAM memory chips on an Ubuntu system, you can use the dmidecode command. The dmidecode tool provides access to the system’s DMI (Desktop Management Interface) table, which contains information about the system’s hardware components, including the RAM.

Here’s an example of how to check the speed and specification of your RAM using dmidecode:

sudo dmidecode -t 17

The -t 17 option tells dmidecode to display information about the system’s RAM. The output will include details such as the manufacturer, size, speed, and type of each RAM chip.

Note that the information displayed by dmidecode is obtained from the DMI table and may not reflect the actual performance of the RAM chips in your system.
