I know this is a stupid question but...

I got a Dell dimension c521. It is slow so I figure I should add memory. There are 4 memory slots with 2 being used. How much memory is that? Well, the cards that are in there say it they are  two cards with 1024 mb apiece.  'free -h' reports

free -h
                   total       used       free            shared    buffers   cached
Mem:          1.9G       1.4G       489M        18M        59M       535M

isn't 1024 one gig? Where is the rest?

SHould I buy this?
