Checking memory through terminal

[grapist]

Hey everyone,
At work we upgraded ram on some machines and now we have a lot of the old ram laying around. I want to see if I can put it into any of the other machines at work. I dont want to go around turning every single computer off to check if it can be upgraded. i know the dmidecode command will tell me if there are empty slots available but not if its ddr2 or not. is there anyway easier way to do this?
Thanks
Alex

On linux you could use

sudo lshw -class memory

- I don't know whether other systems have a lshw.
