I've got a motherboard with a fairly new chipset (Asus M3A78T
w. AMD/ATI 790GX) and I'm seeing a funny MTRR setting. I have 8GB
memory and am running a 64-bit kernel, but I'm only seeing ~4GB
mentioned in the MTRR's. Is this a bug? Do I need to add the upper
4+GB by hand?
$ cat /proc/mtrr

It does seem like the kernel sees the whole memory, at least at times,
but it isn't clear if that high memory is being cached the right way.

Check the ASUS site for a BIOS update. I had this issue on a new
motherboard earlier this year. There were BIOS updates to fix memory
issues.
My Motherboard recognized the memory but it would keep crashing. It
could be a communications issue.
