You should also have two lines like this perhaps: spdmem0 at iic0 addr 0x50: 2GB DDR2 SDRAM non-parity PC2-5300CL5 SO-DIMM spdmem1 at iic0 addr 0x52: 2GB DDR2 SDRAM non-parity PC2-5300CL5 SO-DIMM I have 2, 2GB chips. The 2.8/9 GB you see, I believe, is the remainder after subtracting memory mapped to hardware (including drm), and memory reserved for/by the kernel.
