Any way to tell what the RAM configuration is?

Of course, this relies on the BIOS reporting the memory properly. In
my case, on an Asus P5B motherboard, it reports the RAM at 533 MHz
(DDR2-533), even though it's set in the BIOS to run at DDR2-800.

So, your mileage may vary, but as long as the BIOS is reporting it
accurately, dmidecode is the way to go.
