Operating System Monitoring
For example, lspci can be used to determine the manufacturer, model, and memory size of a system’s video card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP (rev 04) \
Subsystem: Matrox Graphics, Inc. Millennium G400 Dual Head Max Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 16
Memory at f4000000
Memory at fcffc000
Expansion ROM at 80000000 [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management
version 2 Capabilities: [f0] AGP version 2.0
Note:
You can use the lspci command to determine the network card in your system if you do not know the manufacturer or model number.
