lshw:

lshw (Hardware Lister) is a small tool to provide detailed information
on the hardware configuration of the machine. It can report exact
memory configuration, firmware version, mainboard configuration, CPU
version and speed, cache configuration, bus speed, etc.

In Ubuntu 10.10, It's work without extra package.

$ sudo lshw

If you use Yum (Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, etc), run the following
command in terminal:

$ yum install lshw

$ lshw

Shorter Output:

If you just quickly want to quickly find the chipset version of a
piece of hardware is, you can run the following to provide a very
short output that should give you what you need:

$ sudo lshw -short
