How to see how much RAM can be inserted into a laptop in Linux?

Greetings! Decided to upgrade my laptop for a day. There is a dell latitude E6500 !
I'm going to learn php and I need phpshtorm. It goes to 64 bit architecture. Therefore, you need to upgrade to 4 or more gigs! So: how to see how much maximum you can shove RAM into your car? I did not find the exact command on the Internet (

linux is not involved at all here, you need to look at the specifications of the laptop, since linux cannot know how many RAM slots are present on the motherboard and whether it is soldered at all.
In your case, a maximum of 2 sticks of 4GB ddr2.
