I've been enlightened by someone that the ram label is a tricky sh*t. sorry guys but thanks for replying on this thread. 
LESSON FOR THOSE WHO HAVE KITS, THEY SHOULD ALWAYS COME IN PAIR TO HAVE THE MEMORY SIZE WRITTEN IN EACH LABEL. THANK YOU

Holy. Shit.

 

I have been poking my head in here for over a day now, and still, absolutely no one has any idea what size and format this RAM is in.

 

The picture that was uploaded was of one DIMM, =2GB, out of a 4GB kit (KVR1333D3N9K2/4G)

 

@tadubaid I don't care what is written on the kit, or what size you think it may be, just count -how many total sticks are plugged into your motherboard? 1,2,3, or 4?

Ok so you have to sticks, 2x2 GB means 2 sticks of 2 GB each which means that you should have 4gb total, if it says 2x2 GB it's a total of 4gb not 8gb
