Yes, there's a few ways of checking, try dmidecode. Also lm_sensors has some support for telling you about your memory through the eeprom modules if I remember right.


Thanks!
dmidecode displays a bunch of useful info, although the manufacturer is listed as ID only (is there a convenient database of these things? or do I have to JFGI every time?)

I think it many cases the manufacturer field is pretty arbitrary as a lot of the fields are, so I wouldn't rely on that information entirely.

I don't see any latency information, though. Is that available through anything?

Yes there's decode-dimms.pl which is part of the aforementioned lm_sensors package. Probably has a lot of what you're looking for. For example for me it shows (amongst lots of other information):
