I've never heard of any command that specific for RAM info before, but if you enter your vendor and model into http://www.crucial.com, you'll be able to tell what you have.

Edit: lspci gives a bunch of info... I don't recall if it lists RAM though.

Thanks!
hwinfo gave the info I needed this time. It did not tell me which brand it was, but at leat it told me how much there was in each slot + the MHz it is running.
the exact command:

Nope. I've just had a look at its manpage and can't see anything memory related. |
