Dmidecode reports information about your system’s hardware as described in your system BIOS. This command gives you vendor name, model name, serial number, BIOS version, asset tag as well as a lot of other details. This will include usage status for the CPU sockets, expansion slots (e.g. AGP, PCI, ISA) and memory module slots, and the list of I/O ports (e.g. serial, parallel, USB). A pretty useful command for sysadmins to prepare their system inventory.
