To check memory, try this:

free

You could also get summary information by looking at the top of the screen
when you run:

top

Of course, there's always:

cat /proc/meminfo

For some of the other info, change to /proc and try some of these:

cat cpuinfo
cat devices | less (or more)

You can cat some of the other stuff in there as well. It might be a bit
cryptic, but if you stare at it long enough it will start making sense. :)

Being SUSE, you can get a lot of info by going into YaST and drilling down
to Hardware, Hardware Information, and some of the other options there.
You can even save that report to a file, at least on openSUSE 10.2 you
can.

I recently starting playing with a really cool boot disk called the
Ultimate Boot CD. There are a number of cool apps on there for determining
what kind of hardware you have. You will need to reboot the box in
question, which might be an option for you. But if you can, it might be
worth a shot.

HTH. Rock on!
