Dmidecode, or Desktop Management Interface, is a very useful tool for finding out details of the system hardware on your Centos 6 or RHEL box. 

Dmidecode outputs information about your hardware as recorded in the BIOS. You can also obtain the information about maximum supported system configuration. This includes model name, serial number, BIOS version, asset tag and other details depending on the manufacturer. This will often 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). Important to note is that it does not scan your hardware but reports what information the bios holds on it. It should be run as root user.
