Detect number of RAM channels

I'm trying to determine (without physically having access to a machine) the number of RAM channels it supports (single, dual, etc) - AND whether it is configured to use that setup, e.g with four slots and dual channel RAM, you only get dual channel if you plug your RAM into the correct slots.

I know how to determine how many RAM modules I have plugged in, I don't know how to get the number of channels.
