I just upgraded my MB from 1 to 4Gig of ram. The relevant part of lshw is below. So I saw that and then I though I was ok. Then I went and did a cat of /proc/meminfo It says: [root@saturn proc]# cat meminfo MemTotal: 3114472 kB MemFree: 565796 kB Buffers: 238980 kB Cached: 1121752 kB SwapCached: 0 kB Active: 1727672 kB Inactive: 716700 kB HighTotal: 2228160 kB HighFree: 12772 kB LowTotal: 886312 kB LowFree: 553024 kB SwapTotal: 2008084 kB SwapFree: 2008084 kB Dirty: 420 kB Writeback: 0 kB AnonPages: 1083668 kB Mapped: 137348 kB Slab: 59312 kB SReclaimable: 47472 kB SUnreclaim: 11840 kB PageTables: 10060 kB NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Bounce: 0 kB WritebackTmp: 0 kB CommitLimit: 3565320 kB Committed_AS: 2633904 kB VmallocTotal: 110584 kB VmallocUsed: 49928 kB VmallocChunk: 55284 kB HugePages_Total: 0 HugePages_Free: 0 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 Hugepagesize: 4096 kB DirectMap4k: 98304 kB DirectMap4M: 819200 kB Is the MemTotal the real total amount that the kernal sees? Is there a boot option to increase it? I'm confus4ed because my bios sees the memory, and lshw sees it.
