Even more amazing was the little yellow square about the size of a surface mount resistor was highlighted as 2GB of flash. I couldn't even spot the cyan square for 512MB of ram.

I think you've gotten confused. Step 6 shows the 2GB flash taking up most of the body on the bottom side – you might need to mouse-over the correct image. The RAM takes up about half the neck.

What you're looking at is the die of an LED. Almost made the same mistake myself.
