What kind of video card do you have. If your motherr board has onboard video the vidio ram is shared with system ram. so in this example if you have 512 mb of ram and a onboard video card with 128 mb of ram this would leave the 384 mb.

I just installed a 256M ram chip in my server. This gives me 256M of ram in bank1, 128M in bank2, and 128M ram in bank 3, which should compute to a total of 512M of ram. However, in my dmesg output, I get: 383MB LOWMEM available. The board can support a total of 768M of ram, so the system should be seeing the full 512M of ram, but it doesn't look like this is the case. This is a 100MHz FSB board. The chips are all sdram, and are pc133, pc100, and pc100 respectively. Does anybody see what I'm missing? Should I maybe enable the high memory option in the kernel? The kernel is 2.4.25. Please let me know if I should provide more info. Thanks in advance as always.
