[mdlug] lshw and memory capabilities

[Carl T. Miller]

The command is dmidecode.  It is a program that reveals the
hardware specs on a very low level.

Use "dmidecode | less" to see everything, or "dmidecode -t memory"
to only see the memory settings.  And it will require sudo if you're
not logged in as root.
