While hwinfo provides some good "other" information, it does not break
down the memory by slot (which is what Keith was looking for). lshw
provides the information like so:

  *-memory
          description: System Memory
          physical id: 39
          slot: System board or motherboard
          size: 1GB
        *-bank:0
             description: DIMM DDR Synchronous 333 MHz (3.0 ns)
             product: PartNum1
             vendor: Manufacturer1
             physical id: 0
             serial: SerNum1
             slot: J6G1
             size: 512MB
             width: 64 bits
             clock: 333MHz (3.0ns)
        *-bank:1
             description: DIMM DDR Synchronous 333 MHz (3.0 ns) [empty]
             product: PartNum2
             vendor: Manufacturer2
             physical id: 1
             serial: SerNum2
             slot: J6G2
             width: 64 bits
             clock: 333MHz (3.0ns)
        *-bank:2
             description: DIMM DDR Synchronous 333 MHz (3.0 ns)
             product: PartNum3
             vendor: Manufacturer3
             physical id: 2
             serial: SerNum3
             slot: J6H1
             size: 512MB
             width: 64 bits
             clock: 333MHz (3.0ns)
        *-bank:3
             description: DIMM DDR Synchronous 333 MHz (3.0 ns) [empty]
             product: PartNum4
             vendor: Manufacturer4
             physical id: 3
             serial: SerNum4
             slot: J6H2
             width: 64 bits
             clock: 333MHz (3.0ns)

So from the above you can see that I've got 512MB modules in 0 and 2
(slot's J6G1 and J6H1). You cannot do that with hwinfo.
