I ran Memtest, looks okay, but I'm not sure...

I've never used memtest. i just installed 2GB new ram this morning and ran the test and it seems okay; everything passed. I just wanted someone that has used it before to take a look my log and let me know. To me the only thing that didnt seem right is that it was showing 826MB per chip instead of a gig..?:

To be sure, one should always run multiple passes of memtest.
