You need to count how many ports you have filled and then find out how much of memory it is in total. Then check the BIOS summary for amount of memory recognized. It will give you answer to your question.

EDIT:

The above will only verify the presence of RAM, not whether or not it works correctly or reliably. (Obviously, if it's not being detected, there's a problem- but that could be the motherboard too!)

The most reliable method of testing memory is to use a benchmark program such as MemTest 86, WinRAM tester, or a stand-alone hardware based memory tester (which you can buy online). These tools will run repetative functions through the memory to verify it's function. Typically, MemTest 86 is the most reliable of the bunch, as most hardware testers only test as far as the BIOS does (just checks if the memory is responding). MemTest 86 and others will also test for reliability, bad memory clusters, timing errors, and more.
