I have 8GB physically installed in the machine.
About this Mac states I have only 6GB.
The System Profiler shows 6GB.
Do "Empty" memory slots shown in the System Profiler indicate failed memory?
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
It could.
Move the cards around and see if the"empty" slot a certain card.
If it does that could indicate a bad card.
If the "empty" slot remain the same as the cards are cycled through it, that could indicate a bad slot.

Alan,
Thank you for the assistance!
When you say, "If the "empty" slot remain the same as the cards are cycled through it, that could indicate a bad slot.", does "bad slot" literally mean bad slot, and/or "bad memory stick"?
Thanks again, Sir.
If the "empty slot doesn't change as the card are cycle through then that indicates a badthe slot.
The slot that memory goes into can go bad, Replacement involves a new motherboard.
