Hey Y'all,

How much can I trust the output of dmidecode?

The manual that came with my MB says that my MB can support up to 2 Gb 
of DDR2 RAM.  dmidecode seems tell me that I can load up to 8 Gb on this MB.

As 4 Gb DDR2 sticks cost about $100 each I figured maybe I should ask, 
what's the chances that I can plug in two 4 Gb sticks in this machine 
and actually have it work?
