Use dmidecode to find out the MODEL and make of your motherboard/computer. Whenyou run dmidecode, scroll down to the sections on System Information and Base Board Information. This is what my laptop specs look like:
Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 25 bytes. System Information Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Product Name: A3E Version: 1.0 Serial Number: SSNXXXXXXXXXXXXXX UUID: XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX Wake-up Type: Power Switch
Handle 0x0002, DMI type 2, 8 bytes. Base Board Information Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Product Name: A3E Version: 1.0 Serial Number: BSNXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Then lookup the motherboard/computer model using Google. There is a site called memoryworld.com or something (I forget!) that sometimes provides information about the memory components that are suitable for the system.
