The DMI data doesn't come from the various pieces of hardware

memory.

and
"VGA".
On the #1 machine :
===== ===== =====
[root@localhost btth]# lspci|grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M890
[Chrome9] Integrated Video (rev 01)
[root@localhost btth]#

But there is later, better info -- which I have just posted here,
