Bug Description

About This Mac shows a visualization of how memory is divided into individual sticks. It would be sweet if we could show this as well.

Hi Dan, any design-idea how we display that on the best-way in the about-plug?

 The problem is, that we need superuser-privileges to get the hardware-info, so either we bug the user with giving his password on starting the about-plug (ewww) or we make a nice button behind the Memory-line with "more Info..." that calls the gksudo (or whatever we use in elementary) which follows a lightwindow with the exact-info in a graphical way like in "About This - Mac".

PS: Waiting on design-input should be invented as bug-status
