The summary is confusing... Did you mean, "memory devices should not be there"?

There is also some confusion with regards to memory devices vs. memory slots. I assume that the system has 8 memory slots, 4 have a memory device sticked in, and 4 are empty?

Anyway, I agree with Anton, this really smells like a BIOS bug. Did you look for a BIOS upgrade for this machine?

Could you attach the binary dump of the DMI data as well. Use '--dump-bin' option.

likely, this is the BIOS issue, but need to look deeper into bsd code to confirm.

thanks,
Anton

dmidecode finds 8 1GB Memory Devices where 4 should be found.
Extra mem devices have "Speed: 21350 MHz"

We had dmidecode version 2.9 and upgraded to 2.10, also rebooted the box to confirm than BIOS sees 4 1GB Memory Slots.
System sees 4 GB, dmidecode sees 8 GB.

version : dmidecode (dmidecode-2.10)
OS : freebsd 6.3-RELEASE-p1

Attaching dmidecode output.
