Use dmidecode to find out the MODEL and make of your
motherboard/computer. Whenyou run dmidecode, scroll down to the sections
on System Information and Base Board Information. This is what my laptop
specs look like:
Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 25 bytes.
System Information
Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
Product Name: A3E
Version: 1.0
Serial Number: SSNXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
UUID: XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX
Wake-up Type: Power Switch
Handle 0x0002, DMI type 2, 8 bytes.
Base Board Information
Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
Product Name: A3E
Version: 1.0
Serial Number: BSNXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Then lookup the motherboard/computer model using Google. There is a site
called memoryworld.com or something (I forget!) that sometimes provides
information about the memory components that are suitable for the
system.
