How to find my motherboard related information under Xubuntu?

AmberJain

Hello,

The question itself is quite explanatory. My current PC configuration consists of 256 MB RAM and I am planning to upgrade to 1 or 2 GB RAM. So how can I find the amount of RAM my motherboard supports? I know searching google with motherboard number would have helped but I dont know how to find out motherboard information under Xubuntu (and I dont want to log into windows to find this silly bit of information.... ). So tell me how to find my motherboard's information on Linux (I'm on Xubuntu).

Thanks in advance........

Background information: --------------------------------- in order to monitor mainboard sensory data as fan speeds, temperatures, applications like SpeedFan http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php or MBM http://mbm.livewiredev.com/ can be used. Both of the mentioned apps expose data got from the hardware in a shared memory area.

Hi, What I would like to do is to read all kind of sensor data out of the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), lets take for example the processor temperature. I'm developing with C on a FreeBSD kernel. It's an Intel SE7210TP1-E TPS motherboard. It supports IPMI 2.0. And the mBMC chip on the motherboard is from National Semiconductor PC87431 interated management controller.

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance, it is GREATLY appreciated. Two questions; 1. Is there a way in VB.NET 2005 to query a motherboard to see if there are certain sensors? i.e. CPU temp sensor, Fan speed sensor, hard drive temp sensors etc? 2. Is there a way to Get the information, if it's available into VB.NET 2005? Michael

Fans were turning, could just about make out a sound or too from the hard drive (not sure) but the monitor was lifeless apart from the standby...

Hello, I recently installed Xubuntu and really liked it. But on my 256 MB RAM PC :( it is pretty slow and so I feel like I am on a really slow machine. I dont like (or crave for) graphics. I only want to use my linux box for mostly programming. I want a full speed + stable + linux system. And so please suggest me low memory (i.e. fastest) application upgrades (e.g. Window manager) so that I can get most out of my Xubuntu PC. Also, I...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
