[dmidecode] Getting the speed of RAM using dmidecode |

Hello,
I have a couple of machines on which there are various
fedora distros (F10, F9 and F8) and redhat enterprise distros.
On some of them lm_sensors run, on some lm_sensors does not run.
I try to get the speed of the RAM using dmidecode but I can't. I do
get other helpful about the RAM (like size, type, etc). but the speed
entry shows: "Current Speed: Unknown". I had heard from other
people that
on their machines dmidecode **does** show the RAM Speed. I must add that
these machines are x86_64 based, and some of them are really brand new.
I know of course that I can get this info from BIOS (or open
the case and
look at the RAM sticks themselves) but I want to know why I
cannot see this
with dmidecode ?
I am using dmidecode-2.9-1.31.fc10.x86_64 (or lower version on the
other machines).
Here is the output of dmidecode on one of these machines:
...
...
