memconf - 17-Nov-2008 V2.9 - perl script that displays memory modules installed in a Sun Solaris, Linux or HP-UX system. Listed in the SunManagers FAQ. 

Usage: memconf [ -v | -D | -h ] [ explorer_dir ]
                 -v            verbose mode
                 -D            send results to memconf maintainer
                 -h            print help
                 explorer_dir  Sun Explorer output directory
memconf reports the size of each SIMM/DIMM memory module installed in a system. It also reports the system type and any empty memory sockets. In verbose mode, it also reports the following information if available:

If memconf does not completely recognize a system, then please send the output of '/usr/sbin/prtconf -pv' on Solaris 2.X or later, or '/usr/etc/devinfo -pv' on Solaris 1.X and '/usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag -v' and '/usr/sbin/prtfru -x' if available to tschmidt@micron.com so that memconf can be enhanced to properly recognize it. You can do this using the 'memconf -D' command. If the unrecognized system is a Sun clone, please also send any hardware documentation on the memory layout that you may have.
