Linux Mint System Analyzer?

I am going to install Mint on my old laptop, but I have forgotten how much RAM it has. In Windows I use CPUID's PCWizard 2008 to detect system hardware, but I have never had the need in linux. What would you recommend that I use? (Please, only suggestions that are in the repos.)

Thanks a bunch.
