The ASA 5585 SSP 10 comes with a default of 6GB memory per slot.
It only shows you 4GB memory here because the 8.2 version can only use 4GB. The memory requirements for all versions after 8.3 are the same and are documented here:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa83/release/notes/asarn83.html#pgfId-454755
You should be able to upgrade to 9.9 from 8.2 without a memory upgrade required, but please understand the changes and the upgrade path before proceeding with this upgrade as this is a big change:
