Try dmidecode(8) -- it's in ports.  This will tell you quite a bit of
information about what type of RAM you have installed, but it may be
more productive to look up the Motherboard model numbers it returns, and
find compatible RAM that way.

Even so, for best results it helps if you install a uniform set of RAM
modules, and I don't think there's any option other than popping the
case and pulling a RAM stick for a visual inspection if you want a 100%
certain match.

	Cheers,
