You would think I would know this but alas...
Is there a utility that comes with openSUSE that can be used to tell what type of RAM the computer has? Not the amount. But the type.

Nope. Doesn't show it, at least not on my computer.
Actually, it does show it if you run it as su or sudo. If you run it as a normal user, it does not show all the information.
