No, I have i686 and I know that it cannot detect the whole 4GB of memory. and i know that 128mb are used for the video anyway. so i got about 3968mb free to the OS. What I expect is that the i686 detects about 3GB of free memory (not the whole 4GB). according to different forums linux (and windows x86) x86 should be able to detect up to 3,2GB of free memory (the limit of 32bits). but my fedora 9 i686 sees only 2,25gb (which is away from the 3GB). Windowsxp sees exactly the same amount of memory. So either i got a crapy mashine or the forums are wrong. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
