It appears gnome-control-center looks in two places for memory size:
1. Look in /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id and get MEMORY_ARRAY_NUM_DEVICES,
then sum up all of MEMORY_DEVICE_*_SIZE.
But those might not exist on some hardware (and I wonder could be buggy
on some BIOSes?). So if the first calculation amounts to zero it tries
this instead:
2. glibtop_get_mem(), which seems to just do the equivalent of: grep
MemTotal /proc/meminfo
I'm guessing most likely method #1 is coming up with a bogus answer on
your machine? Does it really have two separate CPUs?
