How can I see if my server uses DDRII or DDRIII RAM?

  • 772

I have a very newbie question.

My server is running out of RAM and it is time to add some. The is located far away, and I need to buy some RAM and drive to install it.

How can I determine, whether I need to buy DDRII or DDRIII, having only command line access via SSH? Is there some command that will print witch kind of RAM is supported by the server or I need to go and check the server physically?

UPDATE

Sorry, forgot to mention: I am using Ubuntu Server 9.04

memory

  2. Is this a linux system? If so:

    sudo dmidecode --type 17 (from here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/check-ram-speed-linux/)
