feature request: more ram details #54

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
i would like to suggest the expansion of the memory subfield into its own line 
with fields for total ram, used ram, maximum ram, number of chips, and chip 
capacities. the extra information can be pulled from `dmidecode -t 16` and 
`dmidecode -t 17`.

This issue is already accepted in #44. Merging this with 44.

Note that the reason I'm not in a hurry to implement this is that I don't like 
requiring root for any feature. A sub feature, yes, that's ok, but not a main 
feature. My hope has been that the kernel guys would put the ram data into 
/sys, where user permissions can access it, but this hope has not yet been 
realized.
