How to see memory's manufacture date?

  • 772

I bought new memory for my Thinkpad.

Some Windows softwares can tell me the memory's manufacturer and date. Is there any Linux software that can do that?

dmidecode -t memory and lshw -class memory tell me the vendor, product number, serial number. How can I find out manufacture date?

hardware devices dmidecode memory-card

  1. Some Windows softwares can tell me the memory's manufacturer and date.

    Probably not from the actual module and likely uses an internal database or does a look-up on the net.

    Most memory modules do not have a manufacturer's name. If there was dmidecode --type memory would show a "Manufacturer" with the name.

    1. Use the value of "Part number" for a google search (KP223C-ELD is Kingston)

    2. Another option:

      decode-dimms | grep -i manuf

      It does it with an internal list too.

    3.Found a list and it looks the same as at #2.
