Hello!
Is it possible to detect, which memory banks on the mainboard are in use under
Linux/x86?
Thanks for any hints,
Nico

dmidecode might do the trick, depending on your BIOS.

Thanks a lot, dmidecode -t memory did the trick!

In teory it is really if your bios have SMBIOS.

Usually 0x50..0x53 are the SPDs on the first four memory slots.
Sometimes it's 0x50..0x57 when you have 8-slots but not always.
You can also try dmidecode but dmi infomation tends to be pretty
debious as a whole.
