Try ports/sysutils/dmidecode. Requires a BIOS that has a DMI-compliant interface, though. Works perfectly fine on most Compaq/HP ProLiant machines, for example, and displays the population of all RAM slots in great detail, among other things. On a HP ProLiant DL360 G4p, it prints about 800 lines of information, including the following: Handle 0x1100, DMI type 17, 23 bytes.
