I just bought a virtual server which should have 2GB of RAM.

Now i got a server with 4gb which looks very strange to me. I think it is just a virtual RAM.

dmidecode only ouputs

/dev/mem: Operation not permitted

How can i check if it's a real RAM or just a virtual one?

free -m outputs:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          4093        364       3728          0          0        346

-/+ buffers/cache:         18       4074
Swap:            0          0          0
