Intro:
I found this useful when trying to order memory for a new pfSense network appliance. I had purchased Crucial memory in the past however I've ordered way to much RAM for client machines that it was hard to differentiate between the models. To be 100% sure that I reordered the correct module, I was able to use the command below to grab the exact model number of the RAM stick used in this particular appliance.
Start Here:
1.) Call up your pfSense box and login.
2.) Click on 'Diagnostics' --> 'Command Prompt'
 |
| Diagnostics Menu |
3.) In the section that says, 'Execute Shell Command' type the following, 'dmidecode --type 17' and click on 'Execute'.

| See this image for the syntax |
4.) In the section below you can see the manufacturer, part number, serial number, memory speed, and voltage.
