-----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Tim Aslat Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 8:56 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: 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?
