大多數(shù)情況下你可以從BIOS、產(chǎn)品目錄或者干脆手動找出你的系統(tǒng)所持的最大內(nèi)存。這里，我們介紹一種簡單有用的技巧——使用dmidecode來找出系統(tǒng)支持的最大內(nèi)存，這樣你就無需打開機箱或者參照BIOS和產(chǎn)品目錄了。
什么是 dmidecode?
就像你可能知道的一樣， dmidecode是一個將計算機DMI（又名SMBIOS）表的內(nèi)容轉換為可讀格式的工具。這個表包含了系統(tǒng)硬件組件的介紹以及其他一些如序列號和IOS版本等有用的信息。使用dmidecode你能夠獲取此項信息，而無需去探測真實的硬件。
找出你的系統(tǒng)所支持的最大內(nèi)存
請確定你已經(jīng)在系統(tǒng)中安裝了dmidecode，我覺得你的操作系統(tǒng)應該已經(jīng)自動安裝過了，不過并不非常確定。
在基于Deb的系統(tǒng)中安裝
sudo apt-get install dmidecode
在基于RPM的系統(tǒng)中安裝
sudo yum install dmidecode
在SUSE/openSUSE中安裝
sudo zypper in dmidecode
好了，我們已經(jīng)安裝了dmidecode，接下來讓我們找出支持的最大內(nèi)存。輸入以下命令：
sudo dmidecode -t 16
輸出樣本
# dmidecode 2.12
SMBIOS 2.6 present.

就像你看到的，我的系統(tǒng)支持最大內(nèi)存到16G，并且有兩個內(nèi)存插槽，簡單吧？
接下來，讓我們找出現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)安裝的內(nèi)存的詳細信息。

就像上邊輸出的一樣，我在插槽1里邊安裝了一個內(nèi)存條。內(nèi)存大小為4G，類型為DDR3，速度為1067 MHz。
同樣的，我們可以通過下邊命令得到完整的內(nèi)存信息。
sudo dmidecode -t memory
sudo dmidecode -t memory | less
sudo dmidecode -t memory | more
