Hmmmm, if you do: "sudo dmidecode", the BIOS returns some info about the
H/W, which includes some details about the memory slots. I get a section
like this for every slot :

Handle 0x0006
        DMI type 6, 12 bytes.
        Memory Module Information
                Socket Designation: A0
                Bank Connections: 0 1
                Current Speed: 10 ns
                Type: Other
                Installed Size: 256 MB (Double-bank Connection)
                Enabled Size: 256 MB (Double-bank Connection)
                Error Status: OK

"Speed" is reported as 10ns. My RAM modules are PC2100, clocked at
266MHz (the rated speed I believe).

HTH,
