Issue the command "cat /proc/meminfo" for the memory info. Now this is just a guess!! If you issue the command "cat /proc/mtrr" the output will be something like this with one RAM stick installed;

"reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 64MB: write-back, count=1"

and the output of "cat /proc/mtrr" on a system with two RAM cards;

"reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0xf5000000 (3920MB), size= 8MB: write-combining, count=1"

I was in similar scenario recently where I had to assess a machine for upgrade. One of the parameters required was how many of the RAM slots were populated, I used the above method, when I brought the server down for the upgrade, two slots populated. Alocate a time window when the server is not too busy, 3am if necassary, bring it offline and have a look inside.
Throw the Dell into the sea and buy a Sun machine running Solaris! Dell make great desktops, crap servers!!
Oh yeah, another way would be to get the shipping details from Dell.
