Last night at central I asked about my computer's seeming memory loss.

CJ suggested checking it with lshw and here is the relevant part:

     *-memory
          description: System Memory
          physical id: 2a
          slot: System board or motherboard
          size: 4GiB
        *-bank:0
             description: DIMM DDR Synchronous 333 MHz (3.0 ns)
             product: PartNum0
             vendor: Manufacturer0
             physical id: 0
             serial: SerNum0
             slot: DIMM0
             size: 1GiB
             width: 64 bits
             clock: 333MHz (3.0ns)
        *-bank:1
             description: DIMM DDR Synchronous 333 MHz (3.0 ns)
             product: PartNum1
             vendor: Manufacturer1
             physical id: 1
             serial: SerNum1
             slot: DIMM1
             size: 1GiB
             width: 64 bits
             clock: 333MHz (3.0ns)
        *-bank:2
             description: DIMM DDR Synchronous 333 MHz (3.0 ns)
             product: PartNum2
             vendor: Manufacturer2
             physical id: 2
             serial: SerNum2
             slot: DIMM2
             size: 1GiB
             width: 64 bits
             clock: 333MHz (3.0ns)
        *-bank:3
             description: DIMM DDR Synchronous 333 MHz (3.0 ns)
             product: PartNum3
             vendor: Manufacturer3
             physical id: 3
             serial: SerNum3
             slot: DIMM3
             size: 1GiB
             width: 64 bits
             clock: 333MHz (3.0ns)

Then, I type free:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       3083472    2886920     196552          0      12268     385836
- -/+ buffers/cache:    2488816     594656
Swap:      3906556    1412112    2494444

This weekend I'll test the memory chips one by one to see if there's a hidden dud in the bunch.

Thanks
Eric

PS: love that useful information:
