dmidecode is probably your best best here. Look for an entry on Physical
Memory Array to tell you max RAM the system supports (Maximum Capacity) and
number of memory sockets (Number of Devices).

You should then have a "Memory Device" entry for each socket that will tell
you if it's populated, what size the stick is (Size field for both, value
"No Module Installed" if it's empty), and speed info (Speed field, ie on the
box I'm looking at here: Speed: 266 MHz (3.8 ns))
