Heh. Guess my mind wasn't on the same wavelength as your question, so here's what you're actually looking for: 

$ sudo /usr/sbin/dmidecode

# dmidecode 2.9
SMBIOS 2.3 present.
23 structures occupying 1649 bytes.
Table at 0x000F0630.

Handle 0x0000, DMI type 0, 20 bytes
BIOS Information
        Vendor: American Megatrends Inc.
        Version: 07.00T
        Release Date: 04/02/01

[...]  continues for many many screens.
