Default Chip size vs stamp coded size

Hi all - fantastic site and info.
The utilities are just a breeze to use too - thanks for a great job.

Got a 4GB player for Christmas and the utilities tool showed its real size to be 500MB (4Gbit) that the seller advertised as 4096MB.

Thing is after taking the back off it the chip reads as
K9LAG08U0M which is a 2GB (16Gb) chip.

I've run through the utilities several times & formatted the player enough to convince myself I've done it correctly.

I'd be happy enough with a 2 GB player, but a 0.5 GB... Not considering I bought it to replace a 1GB player. :roll:

Any word on whether chips can be stamped incorrectly ?
Or whether I'm using the correct utilities to determine the true mem size ?

Used : MP3 player utilities 4.05

Cheers
Ra!
