It should be 1 MB now, so I'm thinking the 520 @ 1.60 GHz is just a hard written title, while the cache size of 1024 Kb indicates that both RAM cards are being read. Just not sure, since nothing actually says RAM.Dan

Uhhh...this is your CPU info...and besides bus-speed compatibility, has little relation to your system RAM.
That cache size is a type of memory ON the CPU called L2 cache - it runs at a much higher speed than your RAM. And 1024K = 1MB = *A LOT* less than how much RAM you have.
Try:
Code:cat /proc/meminfo

Execute this
Code:free -m
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

You could also try:
or simplyCode:dmidecode -t memory
and then search for entry that describes installed Memory Device(s).Code:dmidecode

Thanks all! It's working.
Pavlo, dmidecode does not work on Suse for me, FYI.Dan
