I could only find one memory slot and the memory card in it has two 
sides each with eight square components.  There is a label on each side. 
  The two labels are not identical but both indicate 1GB.  It's a bit 
ambiguous in that one might interpret it as indicating that there are 
1GB on each side for a total of two although it seems to me more likely 
that I have 1 GB.
So I think the answer is 1GB

Currently there's no OS on it so I can't use /proc/meminfo.
