Had an interesting problem recently. Have a Zotac GeForce 9300 (MCP7a) motherboard with 4GB memory. I'm going to upgrade to 8GBs. (lshw w current config below).

The output makes it look like there are 4 banks with two populated. But the board only has 2 banks. I've never paid attention to the many types of memory through time short of getting what my board needed. I feel like I'm outta the know on this... what is this?
