Remote hardware identification
Hi All, I have a remote server which I inherited which I have no real specifications for except the basic dmesg output. This machine needs more RAM and rather than buying 5 sticks of varying types for the job, is there some way to identify the type of ram needed? All I know is that it's a P4 class machine with DDR ram, I'm just not sure of the speed. Or is it possible to mix'n'match the ram speeds?

Thanks for the tip. Its not a high-powered server, it's just an hour away and I don't want to look like an idiot showing up with the wrong kind of RAM.
