We also have DDR SDRAM (and DDR2 SDRAM) support in lm_sensors CVS. It doesn't decode everything for these memory types, but the more important characteristics are there. > it's not very well formated at the moment and some comments wouldn't be bad > too. if u want to use this peace of code then i would reformat the source and > send this file to u. (and if u want reformat the output to a better form) Well I think we'll stick to our perl script, it's easier for us to maintain and probably for people to test too. And it works fine now, so why change it? ;) -- Jean Delvare
