FWIW on this laptop (Intel Haswell) lshw only report DIMM info when run
as root, which I suspect would point them to accessing DMI information
via /dev/mem.
Using strace supports this:
3405 open("/dev/mem", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
FWIW dmidecode does the same.
samuel@haswell:~$ dmidecode
# dmidecode 2.12
/dev/mem: Permission denied
All the best,
