The way to find these things out without having to power the machine
off and peer into the innards is to run "dmidecode > boardinfo.txt" as
root. grep the resulting text file for "Memory" and you'll find the
number of RAM slots and the maximum capacity of the board. dmidecode
should be available for every distro.
