I think it is same as in VRM, so 6,3V 2200uF.

This is correct. It's the same cap as the tall ones directly opposite it.

As for what its for .. if its near the ram then its usually part of the ram voltage regulator.

Sure. My uderstanding of the question is that he wants to know what kind of capacitor it is so he can replace it.
These infamous KZG's were often ruptured and leaked, so it would probably be advisable to replace them all over the board.
i have found out missing capacitor. Interesting thing is that board is running nicely even without it, and is very stable.

Possibly a filtering cap ?
