Recipe for identifying RAM. Uses dmidecode a utility that reads the DMI table (a.k.a. bios settings)
sudo dmidecode -t 17 | grep -e 'Type: DDR2\?3\?\|Speed: [^(Unknown)]' | sort | uniq
(This comes form one of the build instructors who says: “I'm pretty sure it won't report the actual speed of RAM, and instead the speed supported by the DIMM, so we'll still probably have to keep an eye out for RAM faster than what the computer supports.”)
