No, that indeed doesn't add up. 

Which kernel version does "uname -r" report?

But even if you're running "the wrong" kernel (i.e.: one that only supports 4 
Gig of RAM), then this still wouldn't add up, because your box shows only 2 
Gig of memory at the moment.

Even if one of the two sticks of 4 GB RAM wasn't seated propperly and/or you 
were running "the wrong kernel", then "cat /proc/meminfo" should report more 
than what it currently shows.

In your case I'd have the box opened, the memory pulled and verified that it 
indeed contains 2 sticks of 4GB as advertised. Because it most likely doesn't.
