howto check RAM chip specification from Ubuntu

I wanted to add more RAM to my Ubuntu box. How do I find out Memory type/specification information under Linux OS (ubuntu, Fedora, Suse etc) without opening the case.

$ sudo dmidecode --type memory (or) $ dmidecode --type memory | less (or) $ sudo dmidecode -- type 17
